Now even more people will be able to enjoy The Office on-demand. The world will be a better place :-)
I cancelled my Netflix subscription a few months ago because I started just outright buying DVDs again, but it was pretty handy to be able to hop on my 360 for a quick movie from time to time. Maybe this will finally force Microsoft to allow non-gold members to access Netflix? I don't mind paying for gold membership, but requiring that on top of the regular Netflix fee will be even less attractive after this news.

I never used it on the 360 since i buy my movies but its good to hear that people with PS3's will get this.
"That’s not bad -- especially when you don’t need a fifty-dollar-a-year Xbox Live Gold account in addition to it."
Oh snap
Oh snap
My favorite part is how you don't need a gold account to get this, which means more business for Netflix, and an increased streaming library. It can only get better from here, folks!
Wasn't Netflix for 360 just about to expand to other countries as well? Europe and Scandinavia, hope PS3 Netflix allows the same thing.
This would be a good thing if I was American, like how Hulu would be a good thing if I was American.
This sort of thing depresses me, really.

And we thought Fanboy Friday would be slow next week! This development should lead to some good material.
Brief commentary: This actually does effect whether or not I will buy an Xbox. I probably will anyway, but my desire to do so just kicked down from "must do soon" to "will wait for black friday"
Someone help me out, because I'm an idiot. How is Netflix different or better than renting or buying movies off the PSN Store?
...Waitaminute.
You need to have a Gold account on the 360 to use Netflix? A totally different service with separate subscription fees?
...My God, what's wrong with Microsoft?

You are aware that the 1080p streaming movies the 360 will soon offer is a completely separate service from Netflix? They part of the Zune HD marketplace, or whatever the official name is, and cost money above and beyond your Netflix and Live subscriptions.
$8.99 a month unlimited rentals DVD ang blu ray. Plus you can stream movies and tv shows, the selection if stuff to stream doesn't have alot of new stuff but there's enough there that you'll find something that interests you. New releases you just order on disc. It's good a service, i'm sur ps3 owners will enjoy it.
Oh and not that I agree with you, but I think you mean relevancy not relativity there Einstein!!! xP
We all know this is happening right? And yeah, the not need to pay extra $50 for a gold live subscription is a big plus.
but werent PS3 owners saying they dont care for a Netflix app, they can just do that other way around and such
Can you rent Blu-Rays from Netflix? If not I'll stick to my 360. If so... time to change my queue to all-blu-ray!
I just got the email from Microsoft telling me my Gold account status just lapsed.
I now have absolutely no reason to care.

@Brad Grenz: Right you are! Sorry about that -- fix incoming.
@KwikPwn: Actually, from what I understand, Netflix charges an extra $2 a month for Blu-rays, so it'd be $10.99.

my gold account is about to expire next month. and im not even planning to activate it again. i dont use it that much anymore, my 360 is collecting dust. Im even buying modern warfare 2 on my ps3. and adding netflix on ps3 without paying the additional 50 bux a year gives me another reason to just let my 360 become ps2. sorry microsoft, your console was great while it lasted. i dont even care aout zune HD, since i have 3 ipods and an iphone.
If the PS3 getting Netflix would end the console wars then this generation of games must suck. I've been playing Netflix on my PS3 for a while (and Hulu, and AdultSwim, etc - thanks PlayOn!)
Honestly, Netflix, Facebook, Twitter, whatever you throw out it is all just fluff.
Give me the games.
Games that run well, games that look pretty good, games that are fun.

Shame this won't come to the UK. But lovefilm send me plenty of tasty blu-rays anyway, and we do get PlayTV over here too.
I'm hoping that the PSN video store is still on it's way to us too?! From what I see the PSN video store looks pretty awesome, not sure why you'd need Netflix too.
So the 360 is getting HD video content, wow, the service that PSN has had for years. Jolly good show trying to catch up MS.

You also don't have to deal with the XBOX 360's ridiculously loud fans. I'll be streaming from my PS3 rather than my XBOX as soon as I get that disc shipped.
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK.
I wish there was a similar service in the UK =(
I would love to see Sony strike a deal with Lovefilm!
Btw, guarantee Microsoft will now stop advertising Netflix =D
Also... will it be free for PS3 owners (bar subscription). On 360 you have to be a GOLD member.

Sweet, it'll be nice to get the service on another console. Though I've got to wonder why a streaming disc is needed when other pieces of hardware need only a code to sync with your account. Still, that'll be a useless question in the face of more movies for less money.
I had a gold account for Netflix streaming. I just factored the $4/month into the Netflix cost, bringing it up to about $12.90/month. I use the service enough that's it's wroth it. But I JUST renewed by gold membership for another month. DAMN.
How am I supposed to watch Netflix over the sound of the PS3 fan that won't step down since firmware 3.00?
Cool. Too bad it doesn't have a party mode. But I guess you could always try to sync up over the phone.
just ordered my disk off of netflix for the streaming it could not have been easier it is a great service I also just wish they would get better movies. My murder she wrote fix has been satisfied that is all I have to say
Well,
That just cemented my decision on which console to buy a second one of for the bedroom.
I've been waiting for a Netflix ready, media streaming, Blu Ray playing device for awhile now and here we are.
