Five bucks says you don't own an xbox anyway, so getting rid of it is pretty simple huh? #netflixps3

I can't say I've watched any anime on Netflix streaming, but there are plenty of good non-anime titles on there. If all you watch is anime, I'd have to wonder why you are trying to mock people for their taste. #netflixps3

That's like saying gas doesn't cost anything because I use it in my car. All the time!!
It still costs money, just because you don't see it come out every month, you still pay for that subscription albeit yearly. #netflixps3

You really don't know how this works, do you? I can take my disc to any PS3 and put it in. Then Netflix will stream to it as long as its internet connection is fast. With the Xbox, they must have gold, and I have to remember to log out if I don't want them to continue using my account. I think this is actually a cool way t0 do it.
And don;t forget that the discs might go away with the next major SOFTWARE update for the PS3. This way they don't have to wait. #netflixps3

For your second point, if the discs go away, aren't you just in the same place as the xbox owners?
Your first comment claims this system is better than xbox's, your second comment implies it will later be improved to match xbox's. #netflixps3

On your side note: Yes, we should all just get along. I have nothing against the PS3, I just think it's ridiculous to need a disc to use a streaming service.
It reminds me of the bulky induction coils needed to use the current wireless phone chargers - great idea hamstrung by the technical limits of the implementation. #netflixps3

On the surface this is just a standard, evolution of customer support, adding another device to the list.
UNDER the surface is a different story...Recap:
MS: We want to buy exclusive rights for consoles streaming your service!
Net: Sure! Pay us money though!!!!
MS: Alright....Here you go.
Net: Now, sit back and watch, as we weasely try to conceive a loophole to technically and legally get around this and provide this service on all your competitor products, despite the fact, we knowingly knew what your reason for buying exclusivity was in the first place, but you were too dumb to know we would be this weasely and cover all your bases!! Mwhahaha.
Um, ever heard of common decencey, respects, and ethics Netflix?
That said, I don't think there should have ever been a exclusivity agreement anyways. Netflix, you weasely bastards... #netflixps3

Netflix heard about these things, and noted 20+ years of Microsoft ignoring them while screwing over other companies. #netflixps3

They have some very bizarre, and self-contradictory views on content. They also have lots of confusion over Proprietary vs. Open Standard. Add to that their increasingly low-quality hardware and poor design, and things just go from bad to worse.
I'm certainly not saying other competitive companies are better, but this is just one more reason why I avoid Sony products completely.

Microsoft on the other hand loves to nickel-and-dime for features. Netflix on the 360, for example, requires TWO separate subscriptions to use.

I am not sure of the # of people who would use the Netflix program, but I can't see it being a very big factor that determines a persons reason for having a PS3. Maybe if you love Netflix and rent tons of movies all the time from their streaming service sure.
For those of you saying "I would sell my PS3 if..." well something obviously made you buy it and keep it until this point. Probably shouldn't say anything until you actually sell it cause then your point is moot as Sony still has your money.

I have had netflix streaming on my home theater for well over a year. And it works great.
