1. Comment - Video: Netflix on PlayStation 3

   (Nov 9, 2009 - 1:27 AM)

   the disc is only a temporary solution because apparently from what ive read MS has an exclusive deal worked with Netflix for a full streaming solution on consoles....according the Netflix, sometime during 2010 there will be a standalone app for the PS3's operating system...this was a workaround that Sony and Netflix cooked up to allow the system to work on the PS3 for the time being....
   
   ive also read that by requiring the insertion of the BD disc it cuts down on the potential for piracy somehow or another...
   
   the quality (audio/picture), and ability to search the ENTIRE Netflix streaming catalog is a BIG plus...especially over the "other" console's option...

   oh i can't wait for this one...what are some of the resident posters.editors here going to do with themselves....
   
   they can't stand Sony/Blu-ray because they loved HD-DVD so much...that now Digital Distribution is the way....yet here we are and the first mainstream gaming device to go fully digital is made by Sony....
   
   so whats it gonna be haters?? are you pulling for digital distribution to take off, or Sony to fail? lol

   i cant believe i missed the link on my first read of the article...but i love the "called into question" link BetaNews puts in this article...which is a link to an article that in NO WAY calls BD quality into question AT ALL....it just states that if you trade in your HD-DVD version of a movie for a BD version you may or may not see better PQ lol....thats hilarious...because everybody knows the two formats offered near identical performance lol...so sad BetaNews...so sad...keep the hate coming lol

   i have NEVER said Blu-ray is set to take over from DVD as a mass market product as of right now...NEVER ONCE said that....but it is flat out simply impossible to say it never will....
   
   no...i have no problem with anyone saying something less than complimentary about BD...its when people have unintelligent arguments that are epic failures that i have a problem with it lol...
   
   Blu-ray is doing FINE hocus as much as it bothers you....sales are way up...and continue to rise...thats the whole point...at the 3 year point in DVD's lifecycle it was an overpriced niche product too....time will tell...but if we look at all the BetaNews "experts" and their history of predicting what will happen next in the A/V world (HD-DVD wins format war, Warner goes HD-DVD exclusive @ CES 08 etc) then ill take my chances with BD :)

   "Dark: If all I do is cry all you do is stroke Sony."
   
   see here is what you and your buddies that hang out around here still can't seem to understand...i don't CARE about Sony....yes i own a PS3 but thats the only piece of Sony electronics i even own...i don't stroke Sony in anyway...i think their home theater equipment is mediocre at best...and their TV's are good, but overpriced...no brand loyalty for me...Blu-ray is just hands down the highest quality media on the market today...period...
   
   "Bloray does bother me why? The price! the lies!"
   
   the price??...come on...this is such an invalid argument its not even funny...what did DVD players and movies cost in 2000???...ill bet you they were right in line with the cost of Blu-ray right now 3 years after release....
   
   lies??...where is the proof of someone from SONY actually flat out lying about numbers that deal with blu-ray??...lets see it....
   
   "Do I loose sleep over this? NO but I can't help but think every time I see something about Bloray and Sony and the BDA especially when it concerns numbers or sales and the scuttle bug between friends and the impartial media"
   
   again, proof?...you and your alter egos Hocus and Fox all seem to confuse the idea of someone reporting something other than what you believe to be true as automatically a lie...no matter how many sources one could post it is a lie to you if it in anyway paints Sony of blu-ray positively...comical..
   
   "which Betanews doesn't seem to be" and you consider the "news" posted here at BetaNews to be impartial??? WOW this explains a lot about you lol....this place is about as far from impartial as you can get...and the title of this article says enough about that lol...i mean all the HATE and FUD spread by this site during the format war was epic!...you could literally see some the "editors" at this site sitting at their computers crying while they continued to write "articles" predicting the victory for HD-DVD and how the chinese manufacturers and lower price point and this and that were going to dominate BD and HD-DVD was the savior of the HD world...and then all of a sudden Toshiba pulls the plug and this place starts going nutty over "digital delivery" and "on-demand"....sad...
   
   "have nothing but good things to say about it."
   
   not true...i have complaints about Sony, the PS3, and Blu-ray....it may SEEM like i say nothing but good things to say because your opinions are so off base that i need to set you straight all the time...
   
   "Like I have said I have a POS3 it collects dusts.."
   
   and thasts a shame because there are a lot of good games out there exclusive to the PS3 that your hatred for Sony causes you to not play...oh well...your loss really...
   
   "why because the movies I own for it are few (lack of a decent library)" there are thousands upon thousands of BD titles out there...if you can't find one to watch thats pathetic lol...i get the idea of not wanting to buy all your old flicks on BD again...but all of the new releases are released on BD...so its totally logical to purchase new films on BD...especially considering that looking around a little can most often net you new releases @ around $19.99...
   
   "and as for the games.. sorry Xbox owns that front for exceptional titles and ease of gameplay."
   
   if this was 2007 i would say you were right...but i dont think the 360 OWNS the exceptional titles front...not with exclusives like Killzone 2, Resistance 1 and 2, Uncharted, Gran Turismo, Warhawk, inFamous, MLB The Show, Little Big Planet and others out there for the PS3....
   
   sure the 360 still has the bigger library...but the "no games" library argument has certainly run its course....
   
   and ease of gameplay?...what!?...how are either different? lol...i own both and as far as ease of gameplay the only thing i can see making a difference is controller design...which is totally subjective...
   
   and my Halo 3 edition 360 collects dust just like your PS3 does....do you see me saying the 360 sucks?? nope...there are just more games i play on my PS3...see thats the difference between someone who has the ability to be open minded...unlike yourself...
   
   "Finally Dark if this helps you and your fellow Sony Fanbois to sleep easier because of the 1 victory (the first for a long while) behing the successor of HD disk based tech because of all those other bitter failures.. Kudos to you.. sleep comfy in that basement."
   
   no, but what does help me sleep better is knowing that I'm not you...
