So this is why Netflix's stock went soaring (http://www.joystiq.com/2009/10/23/upcoming-new-device-integration-sends-netflix-stock-soaring/). After countless rumors (http://www.joystiq.com/2009/04/13/netflix-job-posting-hints-at-movie-streaming-for-other-consoles/), Netflix's streaming service is finally coming to the PlayStation 3. Even better: it'll be free for PlayStation Network members that have a Netflix account. According to the press release (http://netflix.mediaroom.com/index.php?s=43&item=333), "Netflix expects to begin streaming via the PS3 system next month at no additional cost to Netflix members in the United States who have a PS3 system."
It looks like you'll also be able to manage your Netflix streaming queue directly from your PS3; no need to have accessed the site via computer first. It'll be interesting to see how Microsoft responds to the loss of Netflix exclusivity -- perhaps it will open up the service to free Xbox Live Silver accounts? And will Nintendo ever join the fray?http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif (http://www.joystiq.com)Netflix is coming to the PS3 (http://www.joystiq.com/2009/10/26/netflix-is-coming-to-the-ps3/) originally appeared on Joystiq (http://www.joystiq.com) on Mon, 26 Oct 2009 00:19:00 EST.
