Netflix recently announced a set top box by LG that will stream their content onto TVs. In that same announcement, the CEO of Netflix said he was working with videogame console makers to integrate this same feature into them. I think we can all safely assume that would mean the PS3 and Xbox 360. I have both consoles, so if either does it, I'm good.

Do you know what streaming is? It has nothing to do with Blu-ray or HD DVD. They could stream Netflix content to the Wii.
It saves nothing to your hard drive. All it does on the PC is stream the movie over the internet to your PC.
As to paying, the streaming movie thing is free if you are a Netflix subscriber. Only thing is the movies available aren't the latest and greatest releases. So, you won't be streaming a movie that just came out on DVD. You'll probably have to wait a couple months or a year.
External harddrives arent that expensive so if the movies can download straight to those then I'm definately cool with it since I have 2...technically my ps3 is a 360GB...
Well it's certainly interesting. I have really liked the idea of being able to instantly download and watch movies, and with netflix on ps3 i would be able to watch them on my tv.
As a couple of people have said if you subscribe to netflix it's free to stream their videos. And since it's streaming it won't take up space on your HDD.
not gonna lie this would make netflix very accessible, if its exclusive on either side than that company should advertise it loads because now you can watch movies on your actual tv (assuming people are too stupid to hook up the computer to the tv.)
also, winamp will probably beat netflix to this, they alreayd ahev online video support in the xmb (youtube, aol video...) next update they will probably make radio and internet tv channels available. they have several movie channels without commercials...

Eh, it's not technically 'free'. I subscribe to Netflix during my winter break and summer, and for every dollar per month you pay, you get an hour of watching streamed movies. That's how it works.
