| Netflix Streaming via PS/3
In case you missed it: »Netflix on PS/3
How it works: you request the disc from netflix.com; it arrives (you don't return it), you put in your ps/3, enter the auth code (that comes up on the ps/3 display) at »www.netflix.com/ps3 and you're off and running.
Working like a charm! |

1 edit | Got mine today and on the 55" Plasma 1080p it looks easily as good as a DVD, was not really expecting an easy ride, but it was. Impressed.
Almost as good as sliced bread 
Now I have something to make watching TV again worthwhile. The sheer pleasure of riding the screen from pop-ups and ad’s in an enormous relief.
Now watch ISP's try and screw it up, wonder how much bandwidth is involved.... |

Mine came yesterday, tried it last night. After dealing with the Playon / Netflix quirks, I was not expecting much.
I was seriously impressed. Registration was easy - just entered a onetime 6 character code on a nearby computer. Played on a 46" DLP set with a 1.5Mbps connection, there was very subtle pixelation on large backgrounds only and no pausing/stuttering.
My only complaint is that the Netflix software uses the PS3 web browser setting. I had to disable a proxy server I use to get the Netflix software to connect. |
