Netflix announced for PS3 in U.S. next month

Sony America has announced that Netflix access will be winging its way to PlayStation 3 owners across North America from November 2009.

The service, which is also available for Microsoft’s Xbox 360 console, allows PS3 owners to stream all the latest TV episodes and movies to their games console, with existing customers in the U.S. who own a PS3 able to snap up the service at no extra cost. A specialised Blu-ray disc is required to stream content, which will be provided free of charge by the rental company.

“The PlayStation 3 system has always been about more than just gaming, and it will soon be the only platform in the industry to offer consumers such a variety of convenient options for enjoying movies and TV shows,” beamed SCEA boss, Jack Tretton.

“Whether you want to watch content on Blu-ray disc and DVD, download it from the PlayStation Network’s video delivery service, or stream videos instantly from Netflix, the PS3 system is the only solution that offers it all.”

Reed Hastings, co-founder and CEO of Netflix, added, “As instantly watching movies and TV episodes streamed from Netflix becomes an increasingly popular way to enjoy the Netflix service, our goal is to rapidly expand the devices that stream to our members.”

“As a leading game console and Blu-ray disc player, bringing Netflix to the PS3 system is a real win for both Netflix members and PS3 system owners.”

Europeans, meanwhile, will have to make do with the forthcoming Video Store service, which will be rolled out from next month.
