Netflix now on PS3 (without the disc)

Its about time!
Microsoft Xbox 360 has had it for over a year.
And now Playstation 3 owners can finally experience the joy of watching Netflix movies without need of inserting a disc.

Sure you could call it a lazy man’s option. Personally I just like being able to exit a game I may have been playing and swap discs.

But Playstation 3 owners have something that Xbox360 console owners don’t have yet:
Video Browsing.

This has got to be the coolest featured Netflix has ever released.

To start using Video Browsing, you select a category or your Instant Queue. Then you flip thru the movies all while a full-screen preview is being delivered to you. You don’t have to read the synopsis, you simply watch the pre-selected clip. If you let it play thru, after 5 minutes you are given the option to “Play Movie”, Return to Browsing, or Add to Instant Queue.

HOW COOL IS THAT?!

Kudos to Netflix on a job well done. A discless version of Netflix on Playstation 3 is long-overdue. And this has certainly not disappointed.

If I had one suggestion for Netflix on the PS3 version, that would be to add the ability to search by actor’s names. Thank you nonetheless; Netflix, for including a search feature.

Discless browsing on the Playstation 3 is finally here. Thank you! Now that’s what I call customer service. The masses of PS3 owners asked for it and now its here!
