Ok, well i got my Netflix Ps3 instant stream disc today. Installed it...and just like i thought it was almost identical to the way the 360 lays out Netflix. It needs a bit of work though as far as the layout goes. But more importantly, i was worried about the quality. So i picked a random movie (Ghostbusters 2), and it was really low quality at first but eventually got pretty decent. I will say that it was almost as good as 360. 360 has a bit of a edge FOR ME, only because my 360 streams HD on instant almost every time.

My verdict!

The 360 instant stream is obviously better for now. It has a easy lay out that can be browsed hella fast. And the quality for me on the 360 seems a tad better. However the PS3 quality isnt bad at all. Another big factor is that....PSN is free...and me having Netflix on their now, really makes me think why i pay for xbox live. (But thats another story for another day).

i don't think its lame. it just like your putting a disc in to choose other movies.
u put a disc in your xbox and or ps3 everyday to play a game or watch a movie how does this change anything?

but like animefreek said. the disc is temporary.

I still don't see why you need a disc exactly for it to work on the PS3, I know that later on you won't need it but wow that's pretty lame.



Its new....

Like you said,
later on down the line it will be available to PSN users just like it is for 360 users. I dont really see how being on a disc for its very first time is lame....but okay. Still there is no additional charges, so PS3 does have the upper hand on that note.

Thanks Kslay for having some sense.

I find it lame because it's really obvious that the playstation has more power than a xbox 360 does but it still needs a disc just to run a Netflix app. Also the additional charges you're talking about is just being a gold member which isn't expensive at all so it doesn't really bother me.



As $50 a year is cheap to me too. But i use my 360 to....play games(on and offline), and watch netflix. Ps3 has netflix now...(ZOMFG! i gotta put a disc in to use it though!) the online is okay, but its $50 i dont have to spend. Its just a ethical decision Fr33k.

As far as the disc (which is not permanent) running a netflix app....it just came out.

When Netflix was asked "why a disc?"


Unattributed Quote:


Again, the instant streaming disc represented the fastest and easiest way to let PS3 enthusiasts get Netflix on the PS3. Late next year we expect to have an embedded solution available for PS3s via a system software update slated for release through the PlayStation Network.

Everything seems to be just a little bit better on the 360, while the PS3 continues to be the red-headed stepchild of the gaming industry.

When Netflix was asked "why a disc?"



Well it's just convenience is what I'm saying. Everyone knows that the PS3 is powerful than the Xbox but it can't do something fairly simple as an app. For saying it just came out isn't a good defensive statement either, when Netflix came out on the 360 we didn't have a disc so why would the PS3 need one? Make sense? Oh also xbox live is $40.



Right i understand. But it being on a disc isnt that big of a deal. I mean as long as it takes for me to stop a game, go to dashboard, and select Netflix. Takes just as long as taking out a game from the PS3, and putting in the Netflix disc, and selecting it from the video section. Saying XBL is $40 now instead of $50 is just as pointless as me saying "it just came out". Just because its simply everything you want for $40 year vs everything you want for $0 a year.....
