Back in March we offered you a heads up concerning the PS3 being set to offer Netflix streaming, regardless of the Xbox’s billed exclusivity (apparently the Xbox was to be the only gaming console to offer a Netflix streaming), and now Sony have acted to officially confirm that Netflix members will be able to access on demand content directly via their Playstation 3 from November via a free streaming facility.
Billed as serving to further underpin the PS3 console as being ‘the most complete home entertainment hub on the market today’ the service is set to be initially offered courtesy of a a free, instant streaming Blu-ray disc which will be offered up to Netflix members which will serve to bring the Netflix user interface to the PS3 allowing users to select and queue content that will be duly streamed via the PS3’s WiFi/Ethernet connectivity.
