Netflix PS3

Since the fall of 2009, Sony and Netflix have collaborated to allow PlayStation 3 owners to use Netflix's "Watch Instantly" service on their consoles. In 2009, Netflix scrapped the disc needed to enjoy this service and instead began offering a built-in Netflix app for the PS3. If you have a Netflix streaming account and the latest software for your PlayStation, you have full access to Netflix's library of shows and movies at the tip of your fingers.
