Did anyone else get the email from Netflix that the special disc is on the way??? I got it earlier today and it said it will arrive tomorrow!!!!

Yup, same here!

I'm so unbelievably sick of hooking my laptop up to the TV. IT ENDS TOMORROW!!

^^^ well I've been using my 360, but when that dies it does get frustrating having to watch it on the laptop instead of the big TV. Hopefully it can stream as good as LIVE does with the movies.

Another PS3 Slim question for you guys. Does the PS3 have the same cell processor as the PS3 fat ??

Nope, the slim has a smaller, cooler one that uses less energy but packs just as much punch.

So does this mean that the it will be easier for third party developers to port games over to the PS3 now ?

Nope, it just means it runs cooler and cheaper. The programming will still be the same and Valve will continue to piss all over it.

I hear valve is reevaluating porting games to the PS3. And, that it's more of a matter of when they will do it, rather than IF they will.

 

[hairlesswookiee]

I personally hope Valve sticks to their guns and continues to refuse porting games to the PS3.

why would you care if they port game to PS3? .......

 

[hairlesswookiee]

Because they've stated many times that they do not care for Sony or the PS3 and choose not to work on any projects for them. Suddenly changing their minds and porting to the PS3 is ridiculous.

~~Just got my Netflix disc for the PS3. Did anyone know that you have to use the disc EVERY time you want to watch a movie???

Yup. Netflix has said a installable solution will arrive late next year. Speculation is that it has something to do with a deal with MS to prevent Netflix from making installers for other systems.

Gabe Newell does not give a sh_t about my lack of Left for Dead experience. Flock VALVE! Only cause I'm jealous.

why would it be ridiculous for them to begin porting to PS3 and give more fans the opportunity to play and enjoy their games?

always hate it when the masses pay for a personal grudge.

LAME!!!!!!! I've seen Blu Ray players and TVs advertise Netflix widgets that allow streaming so how are they pulling it off?? Seems really strange to me.
So I just watched a movie on Netflix and here's my thoughts on how it went. The menu = pure garbage. I know this is an afterthought and that we don't really need anything fancy or technical, but the plain as Jane menu is B.S.
The playback was pretty good, but I did notice a little bit of hesitation when I paused the movie a couple of times and when I rewound it a few times it took a couple seconds to rebuffer.

I guess this will do until Sony finds a more permanent solution to for this.

So in comparison to the old 80G, the new one (120G & 250G) is betta, I still kinda prefer the look of the old one than to the new slim shape even though the size of the hard-disk is bigger etc

FYI I got an email saying that the netflix disks to allow for streaming on PS3 are available.
