http://mashable.com/2010/10/18/wii-ps3-netflix-disc-free/ That's kind of slimy... If you can't out run the competition, you might as well bruise their shin and hope they can't keep up, but really do you expect anything less? Both of them probably would of put the screws to MS if they could.
this was actually announced right from the get go when Netflix launched on PS3. They said sometime mid 2010 Netflix would be diskless. Not surprised it was because of a deal with Microsoft though. If they could go diskless on Xbox then PS3 shouldnt be to big of an issue so it always seemed like it had to be some sort of…
I kind of wish Sony would sign an exclusivity agreement for 1080i with netflix. In all honesty, I really had exclusivity deals, but I'd love it for MS to get the screw job in return.
The PS3 interface for Netflix is so much improved too. Plus HD and surround sound before the Xbox has it is a good win for a while. Now why can't I just get a subscription for instant view only and not silly discs?
