Thread: netflix coming to ps3!

Hey, I'm using the PS3's wifi connection for now. I'll have to try later wired and see. Maybe (very likely) it detects the bandwidth you have and makes some quality decisions for you. The disc itself starts up in the usual 16:9 ratio. -Brian __________________ Nothing compares to Blu

Pretty sweet. I checked out Let the Right One In. Getting sound from all 5 speakers and my sub kicked in too. Video at ~2.5-3Mbps.

I was reading some of the earlier posts in this thread and they said that they were offering HD streams similar to the ones on Xbox.

tried it out on my ps3 tonight.. it works well, frame rate is smooth and the picture looks the same as it does on the 360. Maybe a touch better, but that could be due to the fact that i have the PS3 setup differently. I will say though the menu is pretty much the same, but not quite as good as the 360. The 360 version so far seemed to shine in scene selection and fast forwarding in the movie. The PS3 seems a bit clunky and slower during this...

Around 5mbps is what I'm getting wireless but did not try wired connection yet because PQ is so good (near DVD quality). Thanks for your response, will definitely try...

And I was referring to the updated info in the "Top Blu-Ray News" section of this site. Although from bt12483's posted...
