I would have already replaced my PS3 with a BD35 if panasonic anounced they were going to stream netflix. I think I'm going to pick up the BD-P2500 instead.
I'm thinking about axing cable TV after college basketball ends and before NFL starts back up and just stream TV shows instead. Thats about $300/yr in savings.
With the talk of Netflix servers being hit harder now, and people getting a smaller bit rate on streams, how long before Netflix adds an additional fee to stream HD? They did this for blu-ray, so...
Netflix streaming is now a big factor in picking a new player as I watched it on a friend's 360. It looked pretty good at only 3 bars. Definitely good enough for my plan of dropping subscription TV. And I think netflix is still having problems because my friend did a speed test and was getting 13mb/s at the time but was having a hard time even getting it to start at HD quality. Also, if the quality goes down because it has to buffer, you have to get out of the show and restart to get it to go back to HD. Maybe I'll finally try play on with the PS3.
