Netflix stream TV episodes via Sony's PS3 [Total Telecom]
Netflix and Sony have a planned announcement today that will bring the Netflix streaming video library to the Sony PlayStation 3 gaming console. The companies plan to bring the functionality to the PS3 next month, with each Netflix subscriber receiving a special Blu-ray disc that will activate the feature on the console. While the activation disc will be free, PS3 users will need a broadband connection and a Netflix subscription.
This feature is the same as Netflix streaming feature already available to users of Microsoft's XBox 360 with XBox Live Gold service and users of the Roku streaming box. The Netflix library features around 10,000 feature length titles for streaming, which is substantially smaller than its library of DVD titles that the company ships to subscribers through the mail.
