Netflix and Sony announced today that the movie streaming service will be coming to PS3 as soon as November. The service will be available to PS3 owners for a few due to there be no equivilent to Xbox Live Gold and that initially you will need a disc that Netflix will provide to activate the service.
This news relates to Nintendo in that Michael Pachter today said that "We believe that the exclusive arrangement limits Netflix ability to appear on the 'dashboard' of the PS3 or Wii. We anticipate that a similar arrangement will be announced for the Wii in the next 12 months."
It was just a matter of time before Netflix found a way to get around the exclusivity to consoles that Microsoft had and it appears that a similar service might be heading to Wii in the next year. Would you watch movies over your Wii console if the service was available? Do you like the idea of having a disc to access the service or would you prefer it to be a channel on the Wii's menu?
