[PS3] PS3 Netflix going disc free in 4 days, 1080i/5.1 Surround

[Pitty]

You had to use a disc?

 

[wingsfan77]

What do you mean? Netflix will be pretty much on both platforms as an app. I think the Wii will still require a disc.

The first post said MS' contract with Netflix was expiring so I took that to mean that 360 wouldn't have it anymore.

Nah....its the exclusive rights that are expiring. It will still have netflix. I am now wondering if they will bump 360 to 1080p too...

 

[Buzzman]

that was tits.

So when is their streaming selection going to improve?

 

[padman59]

Nice. I like the new interface.

So when is their streaming selection going to improve?

Exactly my question. Their streaming content is weak.

 

[Colonel Angus]

Seriously?

I'm finding sweet stuff to watch on there all the time. There are a TON of good documentaries, not to mention TV shows to watch. I'm still working on the 5 seasons of Gangland that I found on there a couple weeks ago..

 

[MmmmBeeeeer]

This.

How can you guys honestly say that it's a bad selection? Is it because of the lack of new movies or something? The only reason half of the movies aren't on streaming is because Sony doesn't like the fact that it will be on the 360 too, and I'm dead serious. Most of the movies that you all want that aren't streaming are the ones that are produced by Sony.

That is how they pretty much strongarmed Netflix into not renewing the contract with MS. Either deal with us, or we pull our movies...and they own a nice chunk

So when does this go live? It's almost the 18th..

 

[wingsfan77]

There's a lot of TV shows I watch on Netflix, off the top of my head: The Office, Arrested Development, Better Off Ted, Parks And Rec, Bones, Weeds, Rescue Me, Fight Quest.....

 

[CCBrink]

It's live now

 

[wingsfan77]

I like this interface more than the XBox one, easier to see your entire instant queue... but I think the stream quality is better on XBox after 1 episode of Parks and Rec.

EDIT: Forget that quality quote, seconds afterwards the PS3 quality got MUCH better.

 

[CCBrink]

I love how much faster the user experience is with the Netflix app. With the disc it would take too long to start. Also fast forward and rewind are MUCH better now.

 

[wingsfan77]

AND now they changed up the interface so it's all screwed up, I had the seasons of my TV shows lined up and now season 1 is top row, 2 is bottom row instead of being side by side....change it back dammit.

 

[JOHNNYTHECLOWN]

You can see a lot more now, as opposed to before it was limited, slow and choppy.

My queue is ok, I don't see the same problems you have. My A-Team collection is sitting in the same row.

This took a while to fire up initially, maybe it was a first time thing, hopefully it doesn't take that long every time. But the video started almost instantly, very quickly and it works great with the controller now.

:iseentit:

It's nice. Real niiiiiice.

 

[wingsfan77]

I dunno, I liked the earlier version better with the vertical scrolling instead of the horizontal scrolling.

Just got done watching 2012........damn good streaming. And epic disaster movies have never been more fun.
