Nov 4th 2009 1:12PM Best buy has a bunch of BD's at $9.99 to $12.99 (BOONDOCK SAINTS!) that may interest some folks.
Otherwise, just look around if you want to save. I have recently started buying BD's again, but not as much as I used to with DVD's... mostly animated films the kids love. So I Amazon most of my purchases these days.
Netflix streaming purportedly hitting Nintendo's Wii next {Engadget HD}
Oct 28th 2009 5:50PM Well you can forget about HD streaming on the Wii... but I can see why Netflix would want to target Wii owners, given how many of those toys are in peoples homes right now.

Netflix for PlayStation 3 requires a disc, software solution coming late 2010 {Engadget HD}
Oct 27th 2009 9:08AM @ Peabods,
Thanks Captain Obvious. He was referring to XBL Gold, so no, it not just like the 360.
Netflix coming next month to PlayStation 3 {Engadget HD}
Oct 26th 2009 5:09PM The disc requirement has nothing to do with rushing it out. If they could imprint it on a disc, they could release it via firmware and get it on the XMB. The disc requirement is simply a circumvention designed by Netflix in order to get this service up and running for PS3 owners, without breaking their exclusivity contract with MS. The contract it seems does not say that netflix access on another console could not be run via a disc. So my understanding is that the netflix interface never loads onto the HD of your PS3. This is obviously temporary until the contract is up, but nevertheless a crafty bypass by Netflix for allowing PS3 owners to enjoy their service. Kudos all around.

Netflix coming next month to PlayStation 3 {Engadget HD}
Oct 26th 2009 10:26AM Well PS3 is doing it better by not forcing you to be a paying Gold Subscriber like XBOX does.
I already subscribe for gaming, but for those who want the Netflix feature on their 360 and don't play online, they HAVE to fork over $60/year.
I may like using the PS3 for netflix going forward, depending on how the interface navigation is designed.
