It may hurt Sony's store, but it's yet another addition to help the PSN compete with the Xbox Live service. I'm really enjoying the quality of the streaming from the Netflix/PS3 service.

Don't care about Netflix. I will always prefer the HD quality from the PlayStation Store. Don’t care about Netflix.

To the consumer it's generally all about price (quality to *most* consumers is secondary, especially in recessionary times), and though you can say a lot of negative things about Netflix ("throttling" their customers for instance), their subscription pricing model seems to work better for the consumer than a more costly a la carte service... There's a lot of great things (and complaints, too) to be said for both types of service. Where Netflix comes out ahead is in offering decent streaming quality of their Instant Watch service... it's like being the hungry guy at an all-you-can-eat-buffet. In any case, my rear end bows to your Buddha-like knowledge and opinion on the subject.

I use Blu Rays (sometimes bought and otherwise rented from Netflix), I watch old stuff from Netflix streaming now once in a while (catching up on unseen Sliders), and I recently downloaded a recent movie in HD from the PS store for a $5 2 week rental. Nope ... seems to work for me :) Christian that’s talking out of your rear end if I have ever seen that before.
