There's always 1-month free trial coupons floating around. Give it a shot for a month and see.

Netflix sucks on my Computers, the stream will become jumpy, and the video quality is terrible, and I have a cable internet connection!

However, over my Xbox, it is flawless. It's a beautiful picture on my HDTV, with none of the problems that I have on my PC when I tried to stream on it.

I ended up removing the netflix streaming from my PC, and use my Xbox to watch streaming stuff. Oh, and play games too.

I also received the PS3 disc today. Using a 10MB cable download speed it ran episodes "Weeds" perfectly in a HD widescreen format.

Now if we can just get Hulu added...

My disk will arrive today! Yes! Been waiting for this for a while.

i have a 360, but one thing i really like about the ps3 is the ability to download & play your friends' DL content. this allows you to stretch your gaming dollar by sharing games (all you have to do is have the other person log onto your ps3 & download the games they own that you want to play - voila!).

My Macbook Pro plays it perfectly. My room mates 5 yo PC has jumps, hiccups, and skips abound! My G5 isn't supported :-(

I *love* my netflix on my 360, except for one thing: the 360 sits in my bedroom, so it seems like there is always someone in there watching it (and I'm too lazy to move it to another room).

But the PS3 sits in the living room, and I received the email yesterday that my PS3 disc will arrive today. Since it's free (unlike having to pay for XBL Gold), I have no problems using a disk in the PS3 for the time being.

@diasdiem:
I believe you can stream Hulu using Tversity which, in my experience, is much more relieable than Playon. www.tveristy.com. You can download and try the pro version for as long as you like. They would like you to pay for it if you decide to keep using it.

@idip: sorry, didn't mean to post my previous comment at you...teh internets confuses me

@idip: I have streaming on my home pc, work pc and, given that I am the bestest friend evar, I allowed my friend who doesn't have netflix to use my account. From my understanding, you can only have 3 streaming devices per account. Looks like I have a tough decision to make.

I love Netflix streaming on our XBox. At first it was all crappy movies, but lately they have had some really good titles--especially TV series including British ones.

Thanks for clearing that up. That makes sense.

Now can you explain the convoluted process Sony used to sell DRM-free mp3s?

PS3 FTW !!!

@Joewithay: Me too. I've got Netflix on my 360, but I'm afraid to use it all that much, lest the poor thing overheat and die. Now maybe I'll actually use it.

Well, as much as I possibly can use it before I hit the limit of Comcast's cap. :P

If you have trouble streaming from Netflix via your computer, you'll probably have trouble streaming via your PS3, right? Because they both use your internet connection, the speeds are the same regardless. I'm not getting Netflix anymore (I seriously thought about rejoining a few months ago) but I have wondered about their streaming capabilities because my internet speeds are regularly craptastic and I'd hate to spend money on Netflix only to find out that I can't use the streaming anyway.

@Joewithay: This is a good tactic, as I have a PS3 but not Netflix, but every few weeks I wonder, "Do I need Netflix again?" and I usually conclude I don't, but now I'm thinking about it again.

It reminds me of when Sony was selling DRM-free mp3s, but made you get in your car, drive to a store, and buy a physical card. You had to drive back to your house and then log on and use the card to get those mp3s.
