PS3 Gets Netflix

Picture and news, provided by IGN.


Playstation finally gets to join the game by finally having access to Netflix. If you're wondering why it took so long for this to happen, Microsoft has one of their own on the board of Netflix. This is also why Netflix originally started out with Silverlight (an Adobe flash-like video competitor designed by Microsoft) and Macs couldn't play any streaming video at the start of their streaming days because of this as well.

This was done, most likely because Netflix finally saw PS3 and its network as a feasible marketplace, now that it was the highest grossing system last month. PS3 has basically reinvented itself (and all it did was lose weight... now if I can do the same thing. Then I'd be able to pick up the lay-duhs... siiiigggghhh... ). It has been looked at as overpriced and having a much smaller game library with no exclusives to hold itself up.

I'm glad that Sony's starting to pull out the punches and provide a much needed competition for Microsoft.

  1. Sometime next month. Sorry, Netflix is being a little ambiguous about all this.
