In a recent announcement by Sony and Netflix we have learned that streaming movies will be available soon on the PS3. Netflix currently has streaming through several devices including the XBox 360. So I'm glad to see that the PS3 is going to have the same ability. Not that I'm a current Netflix customer but maybe someday I'll sign up for their $9.00 plan [the cheapest plan that allows streaming movies].
I think it would be cheaper than renting movies from the local Blockbuster. Plus I wouldn't have to get in my car and drive to pickup and return the DVDs. The downside would be I would have to watch the movies on the TV to which the PS3 is attached. Not that it would be awful but I like to have choices when it comes to entertainment.
An interesting component of the announcement is the fact that Netflix will send you a Blu-ray disk that will access the Internet and activate Netflix services so you can locate the movies you would like to stream.
Hmmmm....I think I should become a Netflix affiliate so all my readers could join and I could earn the resulting fees. Give me a couple of days to get it in place before you go and join Netflix. Or not.

Hey Laurel,
Thanks for the comment. I would like to drop some of the "extras" that we have on cable and pick up Netflix instead. Especially since I can use the PS3 to stream movies when ever I choose.
Have a happy Turkey Day...I'm getting back to work...I'm visiting Beach Guy in Michigan for the holiday and we are moving furniture and setting up tables for tomorrow.
Aloha,
