]]> Happiness = PS3 + Netflix tag:vox.com,2009-11-25:asset-6a00cdf7f4933c094f0123ddead85a860d 2009-11-25T03:46:05Z 2009-11-25T04:17:55Z thetechwizard http://thetechwizard.vox.com/?_c=feed-atom-full

PlayStation 3
PlayStation 3
PS3 owners:  If you love the Netflix service and had a Roku Box on your Amazon wish list so you could stream movies to your TV, you can now remove it.  That's right, Sony has now upgraded the firmware to allow you to stream the movies that Netflix will let you view instantly right on your TV using the PS3.  Not only does it work, it works well.  The interface in clean and movies begin quickly.  Unlike renting/buying movies from the PS3 Store, which take FOREVER to download and cannot be watched with any level of enjoyment while the download is still progressing, the new Netflix feature played a movie for me within 30 seconds and never stuttered even once.  The overall experience is very good. You can browse titles and add them to your Instant Queue without having to fire up your computer, which you would have to do with the Roku.  

There are a few small, but understandable, annoyances in getting is going but none that have much of an affect on the overall experience.  First, you need to upgrade your firmware (DUH!).  Second, you need to go to the Netflix PS3 page and request the required disk.  You should receive the disk in 2 days.  Pop the disk into the PS3 and enter the code displayed on the PS3 screen on the same Netflix PS3 page.  After a minute or two, you are ready to watch movies.  Finally, the Netflix disk (which you should NOT return to Netflix) needs to be in the PS3 anytime you want to watch Netflix movies. 

OK, so there are a few steps.  Plus you certainly don't want to loose the Netflix disk (though you could order another one and I am guessing there would be a cost involved).  At the end of the day, the new Netflix feature works very well and you will be very pleased with the experience. Run, don't walk, to your computer and order the disk!  You'll be glad you did.
