I love my PS3, but I have a quick question, is there a firmware update coming soon, so that I don't have to use the Netflix DVD to stream content?

...bump, I'm just curious, because I'm about to trade in the 360, and want to know if this is something that will be happening anytime soon...

JUST call and get the disk....it will be at your house in 2-3 days.....STILL dont understand why we need a streaming disk.....but so far the quality has been good, stream is perfect,,,but the selection is alittle wacky.

I rey hope they step up the streaming collection.....

From my understanding the only way we can to watch Netflix on our PS3s is cause a loophole with Microsoft. Something like they were the only ones to get Netflix over online, though no-one said anything about using a disk to stream the movies.

They send you a disc if you meet this criteria:

To watch instantly on your PS3™ system, you need the following:

  • A high speed Internet connection
  • A Netflix unlimited plan

You have to get the disc and have it in the blu ray drive every time you want to use netflix on the ps3. I stream HD wireless on mine and it does great, just like the 360. Hopefully the update to have it installed on the hddwill be coming out soon.

Yeha the disc is perfectly fine for me. And people complain about the selection but I think its ok. I get 2 discs a week through mail and use the streaming to supplement that. So selection isn't really a big deal to me. And actually I mostly use treaming to watch tv shows anyway which is way more convinient this way since i don't have to wait 3 days to get the next disc in the series. I've watched 5 seasons of the office, a bunch of South Park, started watching legend of the Seeker, and soon Dexter and The Tudors. All shows that I wouldn't normally watch because the timing isn't convinient or I would miss episodes.

Ummm.. yeah, I already stream Netflix content, everyone says get the disc, which I already have, I was asking if any one knew if PS3 would be able to stream without the disc sooner or later, that's all :|

How long does it take to become available for streaming.....? I picked a bunch of new movies from anywhere on the site, checked a few minutes later and Nada? Is there a special section for que movies?
