If you own a PS3 and a subscription to Netflix you will be happy to know that soon you will enjoy the same streaming experience that 360 owners have had the last many months. When I heard that Netflix was coming to 360 I have to admit that I was very excited. I currently pay to rent 3 movies at a time and unlimited access to streaming movies. I really hated streaming things on my laptop and so being able to watch these movies on my television through my gaming console seemed like it would make a huge difference in my movie viewing life.
The truth is that it really didn't. I am not saying that this isn't big news, but I don't think it is as big as some people are making it out to be. In order to get access to the streaming movies you have to have a subscription through Netflix. That means that you can already have access to all the movies available online and more. Again, this is just me, but I was hoping to not really have to worry about getting movies in the mail and that just wasn't the case. Most of the things that I actually wanted to watch were not available online. There were movies available that I ended up putting in my queue, but was more just because I could rather than things I actually wanted to watch. Of course, I am sure that in the future Netflix streaming movies will be up to par with the mailed DVDs. The good news is that if you already have Netflix then this new PS3 feature will not cost you a dime. Is Netflix a great service? Yes. Is it nice to be able to stream movies? Yes, but in my experience this was hardly life changing.
