    In reply to PS3 Netflix Streaming to Require Those Discs for a Whole Year
    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

    not being 100% in the loop on this one, what kind of media is the disk? if it's a cd or dvd it might be a good idea to make an image for backup purposes so just incase you scratch it you can just burn another one. #ps3netflix

    @RedHulkOnSilverSurfersBoard: I would assume a DVD though that is just a guess. However, I suspect they could fit all of the data on a 3 and a half inch floppy if the PS3 sported one. #ps3netflix

    @Monty: Make an image(i prefer .iso's for backups of stuff) for the oops i dropeted it on sandpaper and rubbed it back and forth. The disk thing is because there is some agreement with microsoft and netflix about pure streaming that ends next year. #ps3netflix

    @Mosaick: Right. I think I'll just leave it in there unless I need to put something else in, and I'll keep the free paper slipcover for when I do. #ps3netflix

    I would rather put a disc in my PS3 for a year to stream movies than pay $50/year for an Xbox live subscription for the rest of my life...

    Why is this not just a down loadable free or cheap app from PSN? Can you get a comment from Netflix or PS3?

    @praxum001: It's using the blu-ray live feature so without a firmware adjustment you need to put a sort of dummy disk in to trigger it. Microsoft may still have an exclusive on integrated-with-the-system streaming as well. #ps3netflix

    That's OK. My PS3 is kept company by an XBox 360 that can stream Netflix movies without any disk at all. Isn't that just wonderful? (^_^) #ps3netflix

    @SgtBeavis: VVRRRRRRRRRR!!! That's the sound of my Xbox agreeing. $50 a year isn't a big deal when you're not in middle school, especially when you don't have time to wait 2 hours for a demo. #ps3netflix

    @Eulatos: I thought Hulu blocked the PS3 browser? Or do you mean you're using 3rd party software to stream Hulu from your computer to your PS3? #ps3netflix
