Confirmed: Netflix Coming to PS3
Monday, 26 Oct 2009 - 08:25AM
After rumors over the past few days claiming that Netflix would be on the way to the PlayStation 3, Sony have confirmed it themselves. The announcement came in the early hours of this morning for us Europeans when the announcement was posted on the Official PlayStation Blog saying;
"We’re excited to announce today that Netflix and Sony have partnered to bring you thousands of movies and TV episodes streamed instantly from Netflix to your TV via your PS3 system at no extra charge. When the application launches next month, you’ll be able to access and watch thousands of Netflix choices directly through the XMB. We think that the nearly nine million PS3 enthusiasts and 11.1 million Netflix members in the U.S. will make quite a match."
The service is available on subscription only and will cost our friends across the pond $8.99 a month. Once paid, you'll get "Movie and TV episodes streaming instantly" to your PS3. Unfortunately, us Europeans wait on for any movie service on our systems.
