ps3 lags behind 360 – Fearless Gamer https://www.fearlessgamer.com Sat, 14 Nov 2009 04:54:00 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.3.14 Netflix for PS3 will require discs until the end of next year https://www.fearlessgamer.com/2009/11/13/netflix-for-ps3-will-require-discs-until-the-end-of-next-year/ Sat, 14 Nov 2009 04:54:00 +0000 https://www.fearlessgamer.com/?p=781 Netflix for the PS3.So the PS3 is finally going to get Netflix streaming, but it’s like the backwoods, broke down version, and that’s not going to change any time soon. For PS3 owners to stream videos they’ll need a special disc in the drive, a handicap that won’t be lifted until late next year.

I have no idea why that will take a year of development. Netflix’s Steve Swasey explained the problem to G4, saying, “Late next year we expect to have an embedded solution available for PS3s via a system software update slated for release through the PlayStation Network. Until then, enjoy watching instantly via your PS3 using the instant streaming disc!” Oh boy!

I’ll concede that it’s still a nice feature to have on Sony’s console, but the disc thing is a bummer.
