Way old, but, I finally set up the PS3 to do Netflix. EXCELLENT quality. Not quite Blu-Ray, but I suspect that's because the original transfer wasn't that high in most cases. Beats using a VGA cable into the tv from the laptop. The search interface isn't too bad either even using the Logitech Harmony remote which has a little bit of a lag time with the PS3 input.

this work with older ps3's?

i just bought a new one, but my old one still works...might pull it out of the basement and put it in the bedroom if it works...

No idea. Don't see why not, as it's internet based. I have a slim. The program is either on netflix.com via the PS browser or the PS store, I forget.

My son's PS3 is about 2-3 years old and he uses Netflix with no problems.

It was Microsoft's fault a disc was needed as they wanted exclusive rights to "downloadable netlfix". The disc was a workaround by netflix (It's not a download, it "needs a disc". see? smile.gif )

I love my netflix I find that the 360 has the best play back followed by the wii then the PS3 i am constantly having to refresh the PS3 picture quality is slightly better on the PS3 over all and i like the interface a little more as well. Also the PS3 netflix is a bandwidth HOG at my house when i use the PS3 for netflix my brother has a hard time playing 360 live (also the time when i find the PS3 has to be refreshed more often). How ever when i play it through the 360 we can run both 360's and have 3 computers on the network one playing WOW while the others surf the net and have no problem at all.
