Impressions: Netflix (PS3)

Netflix PS3 Screen

The Xbox 360 has had the Netflix service for over a year.  It’s got this streaming shit down.  Well, it should.  But crashing into the party is the PS3 with it’s disc based application for the online streaming service.  You essentially have had a year long relationship with your 360 chick when all of a sudden this new “dreamy” black slim kid shows up in a leather jacket.  He comes around like the alter-Fonz (or Micheal Jackson) and says he can do the same tricks you can do in hopes of stealing your girl from you.  Jumping a pool full of sharks? Maybe.  Are there enough positives in the new dude to warrant using him to see what he can do? Or do you check him out and go with the old standby “one of the guys” for your viewing pleasure?  Find out after the jump.

PS3 Netflix Disc Arriving Friday!

Netflix PS3

Hey what up Loot Ninja!?  I just got an e-mail today to let me know that the Netflix PS3 disc will be hitting my snail mail box this Friday (November 6th).  Wait! That’s tomorrow!  Holy crap! For those of you out of the feed, the Netflix service (online streaming) will be making it’s way over to the PS3 this Friday.

I can’t wait to watch a few British TV shows before I get back into Uncharted 2!  I’ll have to just insert the Netflix disc in the PS3 to boot into the service like it was a game, but this will give Netflix subscribers access to an extensive library of movies and TV shows for online streaming.  It’s essentially the same service used for the Xbox 360, but mark this off the list of something that the SexBox can do that the PS3 can’t.
