Man PSN owners are really running that PSN is free thing into the ground aren't they?

Well I'm just glad I can get Netflix running throughout the house. I might actually move the 360 downstairs and the Slim I keep saying I'm gonna get (swear to God after Lego Rock Band it's my purchase, SWEAR!) in my room.

While there are other perks, the Netflix streaming is what pushed me into getting a gold account. I literally just renewed my gold membership two days ago. Had I known about this, I wouldn't have renewed. There's $50 down the toilet.

Who wants to bet all the Sony Defense Force types badmouthing streaming compared to bluray mysteriously switch sides now?

@Midgetsnowman:

Blu-Ray will always trump Netflix streaming as far as quality goes, so by "switching sides" you would have to somehow believe that Netflix streaming is better quality. Which is absurd. Which is why your prediction is fail.

So why even bother with the disc if you already know the shelf life is limited? It is a bonehead move. They could have announced then release the full app properly. Like someone said in another forum, here comes the beginning of BD-live ready "content-less" disc release!

@aaronf
You say that like almost all of the SDF's predictions aren't a load of fail.

This is good news for PS3 owners, I guess. Especially when coupled with stuff like iPlayer.

YES!!! My XBL Gold Subscription is expiring in November so this is happening just in time :)

BTW, this is coming from somebody who owns all of the consoles and handhelds and a nice gaming rig. I don't give two shits about which system is "on top" at the moment. Which gives me a real nice vantage point to spot fangirls.

@Runtheplacered: No offense. but the "I have all 3 consoles therefore I'm definitely not biased" argument is absolutely moronic. You'd know this if you ever saw the shit idiots posted under that aegis on fanboy friday.

@runtheplacewhateverthefuckthatmeans

Um... Yeah. You've never met me before have you?

I... also own all three major consoles, have owned an Xbox, PS2, Dreamcast, Gamecube, Saturn, SNES, NES, N64, and pretty much every major console that's been out on the market.

I also don't play favorites and I'm also not a fanboy. And I'm also a GINORMOUS ASSHOLE TO PEOPLE I'VE NEVER MET IN REAL LIFE. Just like you. :D

The "bet" part is partly because neither you, me, or anyone else in here knows for sure. And it's also partly because I post mostly from my phone, so I tend to repeat things sometimes to cut down on how much time I spend typing on the damn tiny ass keyboard.

So, if you've got time to spare tonight in your vast expanse of consoles you own to be abrasive for no better reason than to spur people's social advances towards you and just being miserable all by yourself... Maybe you can answer a question.

What makes you think I'm a fanboy?

Was it stating a list of valid reasons that it's worth continuing to pay for Xbox Live? Was it pointing out that Netflix isn't running on the PS3 because the browser lacks support for a special plugin that Microsoft made to sell for specialty video applications on the web? Maybe it was because there's fucking EVIDENCE that a video delivery service similar to Netflix on the Wii is at least being developed?

Cause I took a bit of time to speak to each of those points. All three consoles deserve Netflix. It's a fantastic feature and it's retarded that it was mired in a exclusivity contract to keep it away from other console owners. I'd stick the Instant Watch service on my cock if it meant I'd be able to watch streaming Netflix when I'm in my refractory period.

I'm sure it's none of those, though. Maybe it was my name. Sorry I couldn't cater to everyone, but BluHDDVDStreamingVODDesign.264 just felt weird as a user name.

I'm sure its your sense of self-entitlement to be REALLY abrasive since you're new here in hopes of connecting with someone in some small hope that we'll all refer to you as the "#1 asshole on Destructoid".

Well guess what buddy? There's several thousand other assholes all vying for that same title and you're about 3 years late to this party. Get in line with the rest of us. Robert Summa left the site without naming a proper successor.

@dwolf

I use it as part of a mix of stuff to watch. My instant queue is full of old crappy movies that'll never see the light of day on Blu Ray and I don't really want to own. Some are crap movies, some are old classics, others are stuff I haven't seen in forever and would want to see again before i decide if I'd want to own it again.

It has it's good points. Having the majority of South Park up there constantly is nice too when I don't feel like sitting at my computer all day on the SPStudios website. Same with Doctor Who, old Star Trek, Lost reruns, Quantum Leap, most Discover Channel documentaries. Penn and Teller's Bullshit? That's worth it right there.

But, with a mix of this, getting a steady flow of MST3K DVD's and cartoons through the mail with snailmail Netflix, and all the streaming media stuff I've got shared between my 360 and my PS3, life's good when you've got options of how to survive without paying for cable. If only they'd natively re-enable Hulu on the PS3 then I'd be a lot happier.

I love when fanboys get in my Destructoid.

lol baw..... flame fight without me :( o well, While Netflicker w/e is nice and all, I will go back to watching FREE movies on watchfreemovielinks for FREE and guess what... Netflix cant play whats on the actual theaters :(

Sorry, im a super happy camper with the PSN in all corners.

"As soon as the company releases an "embedded solution," similar to how Xbox 360 streaming is set up, the discs can go in the trash can."

Great, more disposable shit to fill up the landfill. I'll be waiting for that firmware update just out of principal.

@MrAndyDixon, you do realize that the disks that don't get sent out (they will print more than enough) will be thrown out whether you order one or not?

I don't know if the 360 solution runs on Silverlight, but I know the Web based version of Netflix streaming runs on Silverlight.

The 360 is using Silverlight to run those fantastic moving ads on the NXE.

@MrLefty

It'd be pretty easy to bypass that too. USPS post office boxes, paypal credit cards... All pretty easy to bypass. I'd wagerthey're going to be able to do IP filtering since it's running through a browser in BD-Live

But is it coming to Europe?

Until that day comes (and odds are it never will), I can't and won't give a shit about this Netflix stuff.

@banzairx7 I have been using playon myself- I will be glad when it is native since you have to update the server so often (there is usually an update every week or so to fall in line with new code from either hulu netflix or both), actually netflix is really good for tv shows since it takes forever to watch a series through the mail vs. instantly having x amount of seasons on the network-
