Time to catch up on the news here at LaptopMemo.
NetFlix is headed to the PS3! It lets all you NetFlix subscribers watch all your movies on your PS3 without charging you a penny. Except, in order to stream content to your PS3, you have to have a “special NetFlix disc”. That makes me feel that the PS3 is a PS2! Why not just provide through the PS3′s Internet connection without the need of a dumb plastic disc? It’s almost low-tech.
Initially, watching movies instantly streamed from Netflix via the PS3 system will be enabled by a free, instant streaming Blu-ray disc that is being made available to all Netflix members. The free instant streaming disc leverages Blu-ray’s BD-Live™ technology to access the Internet and activate the Netflix user interface on the PS3 system, which must be online via Wi-Fi or Ethernet.
Oh well, it’s coming to your PS3 nevertheless.
