OT netflix for wii

[josh.vince]

The Netflix "interface" on the XBOX is a lot nicer. A lot easier to browse movies.

The XBOX interface actually lets you search Netflix and add things to your queue. The PS3 version has a lot of "top" categories you can pick from, but no place to just do an actual search.

So I end up firing up my laptop, adding movies to my instant queue, and then they are available on the PS3.

My wife is a huge fan of it on the xbox. She hates the ps3 verison. It is kind of silly to have to put in a disc to stream the movies.

I have a PS3 that I can watch netflix on,I don't even play games on it, I just use it as a BD player and a netflix movie player..

 

[josh.vince]

About the same here. Did you hear Sony is releasing an update in June so it can play 3D BDs?

Woot!

yep, that works great for the XBOX - actually you don't need the disk at all, just load the service up.

But you can't do that on the PS3. I just keep the disk in the PS3 all the time. I use it to stream movies a lot more than I play games.

Actually thats what I just did on my wii :dance:

wow no..that will be really sweet :dance:

You'll still need the 3DTV and glasses... I was at Best Buy today watching Monsters vs. Aliens and drooling all over their floor.

They are selling a package deal with a 3D BD player. If there was a package with just the TV and glasses (w/ the same discount they were giving for the other package) - I'm sure I would have walked out of there w/ a 55" 3DTV.

But alas... no reason to buy a 3D BD player when my PS3 will do that in 3 months.

wow no..that will be really sweet :dance:

is that something that will be an upgrade to existing systems or only new ones

 

[josh.vince]

It will be an upgrade to existing systems.

Now the downer for me... I was doing reading on this, and turns out 3D HDTV requires HDMI 1.4, which only recently came out. I recently got my entertainment system the way I want it with a receiver that does HDMI pass-through (plus upscaling for SD video) - so now everything is switched through my Onkyo. Slick as can be.

But... the Onkyo only does HDMI 1.3b. Argh!

got ya beat on Bolt......

 

[josh.vince]

Yes you do. They aren't cheap, seems crazy to pay like $30 for them, but it really helps.

FYI - if you don't need them right away, order them online. Amazon has them for $12.99 + shipping (unless you have Prime).

[jfl14609]

thats easy you have everything you need I sell the nano for ya and then you have a good amount of cash to get fish with

 

[josh.vince]

True, I do have everything. I gotta sit down and plan it all out first. I'm kinda anal that way. Well, I learned to be after wasting a lot of time/money on mistakes in the past.

I feel a build thread coming on... for real this time. Not the tease I gave you all a year or so ago.

I have some trips coming up this summer which tend to scare the hell outta me for tank maintenance. I figure I can probably count on either you or Lando to tank-sit, right?
