PlayOn

After reading various things on Playon. I've read that you are able to use Netflix Service with the Playon software with Playstation 3 (I don't know how it's different then Xbox 360 or how it compares) since i haven't hardly played much of Playstation 3 or Xbox 360 at all,that's what i'm still debating on and trying to choose the Best console for Me. But once you install the Playon software.

1. Do you have to download a media player to be able to use Netflix on Playstation 3 or can you automatically start using the Netflix service for renting movies off of Netflix (For the free trial and for the $30)

2. Do you get access to Netflix's more then 100000 Dvd titles for Playstation 3 or is it less?

I know all consoles have it's Pro's and Con's (For every console) but i'm still trying to figure out which one i wanna Buy and get. And which one i would enjoy more for both Movies + Music and def the video games!. And Blu ray is really appealing to me the more that i think about it and read up on it.

Thank you and God Bless,i apologize for so many question's asked by me.

Ive used both.

1) The movies stream directly from the playon software on your pc (not through windows media player). Your ps3 is already set up to accept it.

2) You get netflix list of instant movies. I think its more like 10000. (the same number as xbox)

Here are some observations:

-with the ps3 there are more streaming stoppages for buffering.

-its preferable that you dont use wifi for any of it because of the bandwidth. At least one side of the connection has to be wired or it will probably have buffering problems.

-its not as userfriendly as the netflix menu on the 360 and with the 360 you dont need to stream it from your pc.

-imo the videos on the 360 look like they have better quality

-I rent blue ray movies from netflix and watch them on my ps3 (very nice)

also

-playon also gives you access to Hulu, youtube, and other sites.

-As I mentioned they have about 10000 streamable movies, most of them are older. They dont have too many new releases so the selection is limited.

edit:

I forgot. the Ps3 media server can be a little buggy with some compatibility problems. I was getting errors. Then I updated the firmware on my linksys router and it fixed the problem.

360 didnt have the same problem.

Thank you Mr_Ditters on your opinion's with your own Playstation 3 and PlayOn's Service for Netflix etc with the Playstation 3 it helps me even more with what console i wanna get.

It sounds great,especially with the Blu ray built in as well that's a great feature.
