This is good! Not only will this most likely come to the PS3, but it even further pushes Blockbuster to go out of business :twisted:

Thank god. They should just throw in the towel now so when I'm watching the news I don't have to hear "Blockbuster filing for chapter 11 bankruptcy, ask for government bailout."

Is this part of Sony's new loyalist program?

I heard something about how Sony would give special rewards to people that own Sony products (Particularly people that own multiple products)

Haha I have a Samsung too, but have a Panasonic Blu-Ray player that lets you connect to Netflix, not that I use it since I have an Xbox :)

They don't need a bailout. They just got owned by Netflix, it's not the economy

They'll probably blame the economy though. Crystler made crappy cars that no one wanted to buy, but they still pulled it off.

PlayOn.com was running a special last weekend, with PlayOn being only $20. Put PlayOn on your computer and it streams to your ps3, inwhich gives you Netflix on your ps3 :) It also gives you Youtube, aswell as Espn and others. Haven't tried the Hulu on it in a while to see if Hulu still works through PlayOn, I wouldn't see why not, but maybe someone else can verify if it still works.

P.S. I'm not getting anything from Hulu to show up now through PlayOn it shows but comes up as corrupt data hmm, but PlayOn does have CBS, ESPN, Netflix, Amazon.com vod (beta), Youtube, CNN all functioning.

service to just one type of TV? that's like discrimination man....really stupid

besides i tried out netflix on my 360...it's ok, nothing special....you can't watch NEW movies instantly, just like really old or not too good movies

i maybe had like 10 movies in my Q...not worth it

Awsome! I prefer Samsungs over Sonys. I'd rather wait for it to come to the PS3.

I've always have despised BlockBuster for reporting my 1.88 late fee to the Credit Bureau. How sweet it is to see them hurting.

I don't care about Netflix. I prefer watching movies with best video quality and best audio on blu-ray.

Sorry, but this has absolutely nothing to do with video games.
