I wonder what becomes of the PS video store. But good for the people who use netflix. As a a gamer its not much to rejoice, I already could rent movies on the PS3, which has been like two times maybe.

pretty much How i feel about it. It's neat but I hardly use those kinda things.

That's good news. I guess PS3 is using Netflix streaming to compete with the 360's.

[True]

The PSN is getting better and competing well with the XBL and once they implement cross game chat it should be on par and Mircosoft should have less of a reason to still charge for XBL. The only thing that doesn't change that is XBL has it's own servers while PSN uses the dev's servers to host games, but this is great way for the PS3 to really be a complete entertainment center.

Though Netflix is only available in the U.S. so they really should start to spread their horizons toward global markets. (I don't use it either, IRC, DDL, and occasionally torrents for older series for all my viewing needs)

That's good news! I guess these gen consoles are in for the long haul and Microsoft and Sony are trying to out do each other in who has the most software capabilities.

Sorry, I prefer buying Blu-Rays for 26-30 dollars a pop. Streaming kills my bandwidth, and my bandwidth costs are pretty much the price of a few DVDs.

I tried NetFlix kiosks before, its a rip off. You have to return the DVDs before a certain time or you get charged extra. Might as well just go buy a dvd yourself for that price.

I don't have that situation. I'm on the 3 DVDs per mail with my family and we hold them until we finished watching them. We get charged when we mail back the DVDs and Netflix is about to send the next set on our list. And obviously, I rent movies if 1) I didn't see it in theaters and 2) I didn't get a chance to buy on DVD before it airs on TV.

Only I buy the DVDs if I and my family really want to see it as soon as possible.
