Netflix notified me today that my disc to activate PS3 streaming is in the mail. I was hoping Netflix wouldn’t be an Xbox-exclusive feature among the consoles. It’s nice to see them expand support. How long will it be now before basically every new HDTV, BD/DVD player, game console, or video device of any kind comes with Netflix built-in? I was a subscriber and a big fan of Netflix before they had streaming service at all, and now I’m just waiting for the day that I can turn off disc shipments altogether because everything is available on Instant Play.
For now, though, I’m using my computer monitor as my PS3 monitor on an HDMI switch, so it won’t be that different than loading up an Instant Play movie via the website; it’ll be interesting to see if there’s a difference in picture quality. But someday, I’ll have an actual TV.
