Netflix to Begin Streaming Movies, TV to Playstation 3 in November
Sony and Netflix announced that they are joining forces to make movies and TV episodes from Netflix available to be streamed instantly to TVs via the PlayStation 3. Netflix expects to begin streaming via the PS3 system next month at no additional cost to Netflix members in the United States who have a PS3 system. The PS3 system's installed base has reached close to 9 million units in the United States, and Netflix recently reported 11.1 million U.S. subscribers as of September 30.
It's good news for PS3 gamers but it isn't new in the gaming world. Wired notes that Netflix has been available for the Xbox 360 gaming console for nearly a year.
