Why not just wait until it hits the PS3 instead, and continue to take advantage of the PS3's game playing and other media streaming abilities? You know that enabling this feature on computers is inevitable, and if it can be done on a computer, PlayOn will find a way to port it to your PS3, Popcorn Hour, and non-gold Xbox360.

As I pointed to Spiza, I highly doubt that Sony will allow this unless they are controlling the HD content going on PS3.
You are right with PlayOn and then streaming to PS3 but that's a long solution around obviously.

Bozster, I disagree. I expect Sony would be very happy to stream Netflix to the PS3. It seems more likely that Microsoft moneyhatted Netflix which is why suddenly they've gone with Silverlight and 360 has integrated support. It's probably all tied up with an exclusivity agreement to prevent the PS3 getting integrated support. But I guess we'll see.
I suppose Sony might get "native" support if Netflix produced a BD Live disk which was basically a streaming client written in BD-J. They could also find their own streaming partner such as Amazon.

What would be the point in partnering with Amazon? The deal with Netflix is that their service is subscription based. Amazon's is a rental service. My understanding is Sony already does an HD rental downloads service. What would Amazon add?
