Netflix built-in app for PS3 coming in October for US.

A bit off-topic here:

I just got my PS3 Netflix streaming disc last month. When I signed up for it, I thought I was getting into a "mirrored" selection of what is available from their service in disc-form. I quickly realized that's not the case. Seems like a tiny fraction of their movie selection is available in streaming format.

Am I right about that so far?

Also, does anyone know of a way to search for actor names, and HD-only titles? Browsing for movies seems really tedious.
 
Good news...I lost my PS3 streaming disc awhile back. I use my HD Tivo or 360 to stream NFLX anyways, but this will be good if I want to hook my PS3 up to a different TV.

Yes, but to be fair more and more titles are coming available for streaming.

Also it is much easier/faster to browse with your PC, add movies to the streaming queue, and then just fire up the queue on the PS3.

Sweet. Not sure it'll be used over my 360, but at least I have options.

I used my 360 for Netflix for the longest time, but recently switched to PS3 because it doesn't keep doing the stupid "your bandwidth has changed" re-buffering pauses or the occasional instance where it switches video or something and cuts 4 or 5 seconds out without pausing what you're watching.

The PS3 Netflix is smooth and I've yet to ever get interruptions. I've watched the entire Weeds series without a single interruption on the PS3, but when watching Lost on the 360, I'd get interrupted at least once per episode.
 
Supposedly this will be the best Netflix streaming experience available (for the time being, anyway): 1080i streaming and 5.1 surround support.

I'm curious to see how well this works with my PS3's subpar WiFi, but maybe that's just a PSN issue.
 
Sweet. I've been waiting awhile for this. I probably use Netflix LESS because I don't feel like digging out the disc and swapping it.

I do wifi streaming and so far no problems. Every now and then it seems like I lost connection, but usually get through a whole movie without any trouble.
 
How can I get this on my PS3 on Monday? The store? Will it just show up in What's new like the video said? I think I misunderstood that part.
