Youtube user Otimus is one of the first people to get their hands on Netflix on the Playstation 3. His Netflix disc arrived today, and naturally, he set about capturing footage of the new software in use right away. According to Otimus there are some issues with the service, like video only rendering at 480p, [...]

After walking outside to check my mail, I noticed a few Netflix movie envelopes. I proceeded to casually pick them up until I saw PS3 written in that iconic Sony font right on the side of one. I ran back inside, completely ecstatic with joy! Into the living room, up to the television, and … [...]

Just got the disc tonight, haven’t actually tried it out yet. It’s kind if lame that you have to insert the disc every time you want to stream something – as I understand it, it’s because they’re doing the streaming as a BD Live feature, which requires a Blu-Ray disc. A native Playstation 3 software [...]

I just finished making this video, but it compares the time it takes from starting up the system to being able to view playback of a movie. For the PS3 running off of a disc and then streaming the video, the time lapse is really close, at least within 1 second. Even the selection of [...]

Ahhh, Takashi Miike . For a long time one could just assume that if you were a horror fan or geek, you'd already seen this. But it's been ten years now. Newer and shinier Japanese horror has come, gone, and been mulched into tweener entertainment. Newer Japanese horror conforms to standard plot structure and pacing. Takashi Miike thinks standard plot structure and pacing are for little girls. The first...

The studios have put the screws to Redbox and Netflix ( NSDQ: NFLX ) in order to get them to take new releases at a later date. Redbox has sued all the big studios —but Netflix is taking a different tack. During the company’s most recent earnings call, Netflix CEO Reed Hastings said acknowledged the impact that cheap rentals were having on DVD sales and said that “if we can agree...

Well, Netflix streaming on the PS3 works. Of course, you need to use the special disk (can't just download the software eh? how quaint). But it appears to be working correctly. Check out the video inside, which demonstrates that it's working, and working smoothly.

If you’re curious what the interface and experience is like with Netflix Instant Streaming on a PS3, have a look at the attached user created video. It takes a few seconds for the required disc to initiate, but the UI appears similar to other Netflix enabled products and doesn’t suffer from any noticable lag (other [...]

The tale of Netflix on the PS3 is sad: It's just now shipping after sitting pretty on the Xbox for more than a year, and to add insult to injury, it comes on a disc. Thankfully, it's slick. The... 1 Vote(s)

By Tim Conneally , Betanews As a PlayStation 3 owner, I did not have the luxury of Netflix Instant streaming through my video game console until today. Now, with the aid of Blu-ray's BD-Live and a free Netflix disc which must remain loaded in the PS3, I now have access to an experience similar to the one Xbox Live Gold subscribers had on their 360s. These discs shipped out to subscribers this week...

Kim writes, "I've been a Netflix customer for just under one year. I am on the 3-DVD plan which I share with my daughter, so it's more like a 2-DVD plan for me. In less than a year I've watched an impressively long list of movies, including hundreds of streaming flix. I saved the at-home dvd envelope flaps and started wallpapering my laundry room with them. I have completed two walls and 1/2 the...
