New Netflix app on the PS3
Last night after I got off of work I drove home quickly to try out the new app for netflix on the PS3. After firing up the PS3, I found the netflix icon in the video menu. I clicked on it and the download started. Exactly 30 seconds later I was ready to go.
Boy, I was impressed. Not only did the streaming video look far better than before, but the audio was damn right good for a two channel offering. No matter what I previewed, it looked and sounded far better than when I had to use the disc to access netflix. The PQ consistently looked better than DVD, and although the audio was only two channel, it had surprising conherence and movement when DPL IIx was engaged.
I have to say I am pretty impressed at what Sony and netflix have done with the PS3's streaming cabilities. The layout is intuitive and far easier to navigate, and setup was easy enough that even a monkey like pix could figure it out.
