Aeropause Games: Hands On: PS3 Netflix Instant Streaming

  • LBDz · 1 month ago
    When Netflix 1st came onto the 360, it was crap. It was no where as good as the PS3's Netflix 1st release.

    So once Netflix gets built into the PS3 and doesn't need the disc anymore, i really think it will be better than the 360's version.

    How about this, compare the 360's 1st netflix release to the PS3's release.?

    Umm... No. Think about it. The 360 has never needed a disc, and the PS3 will probably require one for about a year. Plus, the 360 offers several different categories of movies/TV shows, not to mention, Xbox Live parties. Please. I love my PS3, but saying it will be better than the 360's is straight-up fanboyism.

    From the Kotaku review: "The Netflix service is relatively similar to the offering found on the Xbox 360. Although you can't watch a movie with friends online, everything else seems to be there for PS3 owners.

    I actually like the interface a bit more on the PS3 than I do the Xbox 360. The PS3 version takes up most of your screen to show off the movies or shows available in a particular area. You can sort by a number of genres, including very specific ones keyed to your tastes, as well as look at your Instant View queue and browse through the selection of TV shows and movies just made available on the service."

    How does the PS3's genre-sorting match up to the 360's category view?

    They are pretty much exact across the board. About the only thing that makes it hard to compare is that the movies tend to show up in random order when going to the genre specific queues. But all the features are the same, sans the party mode.

    But if I have a game disc in my PS3, it sucks to have to get up and put the Netflix disc in for my viewing pleasure. Are we not about laziness here in the states. getting up to put in a disc is so taxing!
