    @yule-and-bellow: No - I mean if something initially costs $100 and someone says prices are cut by 50%, this means that the new price is $50. If they say prices are cut by 100%, this means the new price is zero. If you say the price is cut by 800%, this means the new price is -$700. #gizmodoremainders

    Who is the idiot who thought we would want to put in a disc to watch a movie? Absolute lunacy! This system should read my thoughts and automatically put on the movie I am dreaming of without me having to lift a fingernail. I tell you, Sony and Netflix have to get their mind reading technology together because this disc-movie watching technology is as much work as shaking a bottle of juice before drinking it. #ps3netflix

    It is exciting this is finally out, but what I am curious about is why it took so long? Clearly this was not a rocket-science situation, both platforms should have had Netflix ages before it was released. So, what happened? Was it to get Microsoft to pay for the exclusivity of forcing PS3 owners to put a disc in the drive? (Wow, that was worth the price, Ballmer - putting discs in drives is almost as exhausting as shaking a fruit juice bottle.) Does Netflix just not have coders available? Or maybe Sony is paying for this program somehow?

    Sorry, just my usual Friday afternoon round of confusion. #netflixps3

    @ajs237: I don't know if you're referring to the anime selection or the video selection as a whole.

    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

    How many 360 owners whose consoles are connected to the internet don't have Live gold? It doesn't really cost anything if you're actually using your console at all. #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

    @TwoLaneBlackTop: Your analogy makes perfect sense since everyone who owns a car will be purchasing petrol to drive it. However, not everyone who buys a 360 purchases the online services. That is where the dichotomy begins.

    We got our confirmation email today that our disc will be here tomorrow - it will be a Netflix weekend (we don't have to stream it from my laptop anymore!). And then in January, the next update will occur and the disc will not longer be needed; thank you Netflix for not making me wait until the next release! #netflixps3

    @Gann:
    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

    @exoren22: So if you're at a friends place and want to watch netflix, you have to have your disc with you... I do not see why this is preferable to just being able to login to your account.

    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

    @Gann: No, I was simply refuting the fact that this is much worse than the Xbox model. For my use case this is probably better. My second point was that if you don't like this setup it may be coming without the disc. My perfect secnario would be to keep the disc and also have the option to login without it. #netflixps3

    @Gann: I believe I read an article (sorry for not linking) stating that unlike the XBox version, the PS3 will be able to add movies to a streaming cue straight from the console without having to consult your PC/MAC first. As a side note: Can't we all just get along? My remedy: I own both consoles. But the PS3 is used for all my media and the majority of the games. The XBox is mainly for its exclusive titles, ie : Fable II, Mass Effect, Gears and so on. #netflixps3

    @LessthanZach: Xbox's last update finally added the ability to manage your queue.

    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

    In real terms, this is cool for Netflix because now they have more customers who can enjoy all the instant stream features!

    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
