Netflix Disc On The Way To Sony Customers!

Let the queuing commence!

So PS3 owners, you've been envious of those 360-loving brethren of yours haven't you? For all the free network play and Blu-Ray capabilities, they've been able to do something you cannot: stream Netflix. Recently it was announced that your shortcoming would be resolved as Netflix said they were coming to Sony's pride and joy in November.

Well, the hour is upon us. Emails were sent out today to people who had signed up for the service, telling them that their discs would be in the mail as of tomorrow, November 6. That's right, discs. In case you missed the initial announcement, the service will require PS3 users to install the Netflix software from a disc for a while until a software solution is available (likely nest year). From the email it also seems that the PS3ers will have to add content to their queue from a PC to start with, though this is the way that 360 owners had to queue stuff to start with. So Sony fans, get queuing!
