Netflix instant streaming on 360 is pretty awesome

[QUOTE="HarlockJC"][QUOTE="Shad0ki11"]

PSN has a movie ordering service, not to mention a web browser where you could probably just go to the Netflix website and stream videos from there.

Why? Netflix is only robbing themselves of money by not allowing it across all systems.

Sony does the same with exclusive games, so does microsoft, its just business

net flix is cool I just watched ace ventura when nature calls. but the movies are old. and the no dolby digital, the hd is hardly hd. Is it worth the fee barely. Bluray movies are the best. The web browser on the ps3 sucks. Streaming movies is cool but the quality of the sound and picture needs improvements. after you have netfix for a few weeks you get bored with it. I have two 360 and in order to stream video you need a gold live acount, I only have one with a gold account.

Lemmings forget that we had a video store since summer, we could the ps3 internet to go to netflix, and we have blu-ray. The ps3 is pretty much set when it comes to movies.

First off, the 360 had a video store FIRST, so dont even go there, and second, Netflix adds over 12,000 movies and tv shows to XBL and you cant watch those with the PS3 internet browswer. i agree with bluray. but there isnt nearly as many bluray movies as there are movies on netflix, and for some reason, tv shows arent released on bluray. Why are you guys trying to downplay the signifigance of it?? Nevermind, i just checked your posting history, you guys WOULD say that now wouldnt you :roll:navyguy21

Because its insignifigant. As a 3 year Netflix subscriber I can say without a doubt the streaming service is nothing special. The pickings are slim to say the least, and the picture quality shouldn't even be discussed if you're trying to compare this to Blu-ray. There's a handful of things worth watching, mostly TV shows that can be found and streamed from other places for free (and on PS3). It's nice to have the integrated service on the 360 but I ran out of things to watch within a month or so of them launhing the watch now service on PC and I have yet to use it on my 360. Almost all of this is available on PC and PS3 so can we please stop with the Netflix threads?!?!?!?

This is a nice extra but to say it's "pretty awesome" is laughable.

any ps3 user can download PlayOn to stream their play now movies to their ps3's, heck for that matter the lemmings could do this aswell. Play now movies on Netflix isn't somthing to get worked up about lol, most are pretty old with the occasional newer movie thrown in. But Netflix to get bluray movies for the ps3 is a definite win :)GreyFoXX4

oh please.. .you and I know the netflix streaming are old movies and tv shows. tell me what current new tv shows and movies are on Netflix? is HOuse, Simspons, Family Guys? Southpark?? American Idols when it's on soon?? you know Ps3 + Hulu you can watch all those. bluespikefree

Netflix is only for America yes?gameofthering

Yes... I think they should have had something similar ready for the other regions when they launched Netflix on 360. Still at least us in the UK have the overpriced Video Marketplace.:|

Like some people have said already though, I bought my 360 for gaming... being able to watch movies/tv shows on your console is a nice bonus but it's all about the games.

This is a lil off-topic, Just checked PSN and they had a commercial for a video downloading service. Im not in the US atm, so does anyone know if its up, or is it an upcomming feature?II_Seraphim_II

They advertise being able to download movies on the PSN site (which is terrible, btw) so I would assume so.

what does PS3 have to counter this? johnnyblazed88
