They sent the game in a lil cardboard case, would be nice to have the actual cover for the 360!

It is a blu-ray case, not a PS3 case. It would still fit with your collection without looking too out of place, though.

Don't worry, you aren't missing anything. It was literally full of movie/video game trailers that you could already see online. I don't remember for sure, but it didn't have anything exclusive to it at all.

In any case, if you want to know what's going to be out to stream on Netflix within the next few months, keep an eye on Streaming Soon. This site silences the people who endlessly whine that nothing good is on (or coming to) streaming. The same people that consider "nothing good" to mean anything more than 8 days old.

Currently, outside of U.S., people in these places can check out Netflix (streaming & discs):
American Samoa
Federated States of Micronesia
Guam
Marshall Islands
Northern Mariana Island
Palau
Puerto Rico
Virgin Islands
I'm sure they want to be available to all countries - but you know how movie studios are with their properties.

Another disappointment to throw on top of my ever growing pile of "Things Canadians are excluded from."
*edit changed "excluded of" to "excluded from"

"I could use a show about a serial killer who works for the Miami PD... also, Jerry Maguire is always a hoot. Ooh, Desperate Housewives!"
I'm as eclectic as the next guy, but that is a bizarre mixture. #netflix

The funny was in the idea of one person deciding to have a Dexter/Jerry/Housewives marathon. Please don't remove the funny. The funny doesn't like to travel. Won't somebody please think of the funny?
Thank you. #netflix

Renewing my Netflix subscription Friday. Can't wait, I've been so lost without it. #netflix

For some reason I find myself reminded of many DVD vs Blu Ray for gaming "discussions" . . . #netflix

In reading the comments, I'm not seeing any speed complaints, so I guess it is better than Warner's services. Too bad I didn't get it when I was still in the US. #netflixps3

We do this on our own, but also with the help of the Netflix community as a whole (to track down upcoming releases - see the disclaimer at the page bottom for how). Netflix even features us in their official App Gallery!
So, give our site a look, and subscribe to our Twitter as well... we keep things updated on both fronts, and love to serve our Netflix friends.

The Netflix selection for streaming is very poor imo, although it seems to be vastly increasing week by week so it's all good :D #netflixps3

That's the stigma we've easily broken 90 times over on our site. It's absolutely ridiculous. Normal people have Instant queues as big as regular queues. Stupid people only watch new releases, and ignore every other title ever released.
I can't change people, but we can point out all of the stuff people ignore, on our site. #netflixps3
11/07/09
Stupid is not uninformed.
And thank you for streamingsoon dot com. #netflixps3

None of the above are deal-breakers and overall I'm pretty impressed with Netflix on the PS3. It's not as good as the 360's version, but it's better than I thought it would be. If anyone knows if there IS a way to change aspect-ratio on videos, let me know. That's the one serious negative on the PS3 vs. the 360.

Pressing pause brings up a progress bar. It shows you approximately how far into the program you are. Now while it doesn't show you how much time is left, a little quick math will allow you to take the current running time from the program's total running time to figure out how much time the program has left. It's not ideal, but it's workable. But yeah, you absolutely can tell how long the video has been playing, at least.
I can't figure out for the life of me if there's a method for changing the aspect-ratio, though.
That's the only real negative that I've found, and it's not even too big a deal, given that I tend to just watch all my 4:3 programs in widescreen anyway. I got used to seeing folks stretched out unnaturally. :P #netflixps3
11/06/09
Don't know about changing the aspect ratio, though. #netflixps3
11/06/09
So yeah, the only real negative is the inability to change the aspect, and that's not really that huge a problem, IMO. #netflixps3

Do you have to have an existing NetFlix account for them to actively send it to you? I'm using this as a way to decide whether I want NetFlix or not, seeing how I want to stream them and not worry about discs as much.

I guess you get what you pay for. #netflixps3
