PlayStation 3 Netflix Sees Warm Reception
When Netflix was originally announced for the PlayStation 3 only weeks ago, thousands of consumers in the US showed an interest in utilizing the new format. While the use of a special Netflix disc is required for the PlayStation 3 version, many still prefer the to use the PlayStation to view. Now that the official release has come to pass, many are wondering just how successful the new Netflix platform has been.
Netflix has announced on their official blog that the PlayStation 3 Netflix platform already has upwards of 100,000 subscribers. Jessie from Netflix stated the following:
Today we shipped instant streaming discs for PS3 to about 100,000 Netflix members who requested them. After we tune a few more details, we expect to ship to everyone else within a couple of weeks.
So far, the PlayStation 3 platform for Netflix has been a great success. The PlayStation 3 has gained a growing popularity for all things entertainment due to its wide range of multimedia capabilities. The use of a disc will only be required until Late 2010 due to a contractual obligation. Check out our how-to guide to see how the new Netflix on PlayStation 3 works.

Dear Netflix and PS3, PLEASE stop sending this offer to my Inbox. I am in Canada. The teasing must stop.
I got my Netflix disc in the mail yesterday. Just signed for the free trial this week.
Not of much interest to UK residents.. There are other means.
I was amazed at who well the movies run and how som even look close to HD. My only complaint is the library and how it seems like the instant watch library keeps gettin rid of movies. I thought they were suspose to expand their library not get rid of some movies. Like Superbad, which was on there and now it’s not. Even now there are movies on there that have expiration dates. What since does that make if your trying to make something grow why would you keep taking great content away.
I was apart of the 100,000…Netflix on my PS3 is awesome.
Peace,

I still do not understand why people want this “feature” so much.
@Nosferatu King – It’s not libel. If you knew the correct definition of the word you wouldn’t even have written that. But thanks for your comment nonetheless
You’re posting the information in a positive light, as if the Netflix associate stated he was HAPPY with the results – when it’s clear he never stated such.
You are happy with the results, good. Congrats. But why post the information as if you knew that HE was happy.
Thanks for the intelligent response.

That’s still not libel. If anything it’s simply an opinion of the author writing the article. Maybe it could have been worded differently but it is far from libel.
My disc is on its way!
good job netflix
Just signed up Mon. and received PS3 disc and DVDs Wed. so far very satisfied.

…really? It’s pretty straight forward, to tell the truth. It gives so many more options with the PS3 as a home entertainment system.
Can streaming be done in HD?
