The rumors of NetFlix coming to another home device are now true, as yesterday both NetFlix and Sony announced that the uber-cool rental service is going to be streaming to the PS3 sometime soon (November?).
The service will be available for free to all current NetFlix subscribers, unlike with Microsoft’s XBox where a Gold Membership is needed — up to $50/year. Needed to access the service will be a disk inserted into the Blu Ray drive. Whether this includes software to install or the disk needed to be in to stream is still uncertain.
With a recent major price cut, Uncharted 2, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 the PS3 suddenly looks like it is a gaming force this Holiday season. How can Microsoft counter? Well, achievements for watching bad 80’s movies would be a start.
