Netflix Instant Watch officially coming to PS3 next month. Odd that it needs a disc.
Next month, Netflix Instant Watch officially comes to the Playstation 3 at no additional cost on either end. I say "officially" because like I mentioned before, I've been using PlayOn to stream Netflix to my PS3 for a while now.
I did find it odd that it requires them to send you a (free) Blu-ray disc. It apparently uses BD-Live features found in the latest Blu Ray players instead of being special integrated software like it is on the Xbox 360. So I assume that this ability is eventually coming to ALL Blu-Ray players in the future?
Anyways, props to Netflix for not making exclusive deals with any one console, and props to Sony for building such a great versatile machine.
You can go ahead and order your PS3 disc here.
