Which I have to imagine would be a big deal of why some are leaning either way is the mp factor for MW2 is the free online for the PS3 being a huge part of it.
As for AC2, that game seems to be closely tied to the PS3 that I've barely heard or seen anything of that connected to the 360 (sort of like MW2 seems to be greatly linked to the 360).

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

That being said, I won't get my hopes up. #talesofvesperia

Namco never releases cross-platform Tales ports. Because, you know, that would be a smart idea. And Namco isn't known for making those these days. #talesofvesperia

And the reason we'd think you care is because your reputation as one filled with cosmic hatred precedes you by quite a margin. #talesofvesperia

I'm just saying that Namco's track record of releasing late ports and remakes of Tales games is, as of now, zero for like, 12. There's no reason they'd start now, even if they really SHOULD. #talesofvesperia

I've been waiting a little too patiently for the PS3 localization, but apparently Namco is so mentally defective that they'd port the game to the Wii first. You get none of my money, Namco. You've been all very bad children. :( #talesofvesperia

Describes the moment for me perfectly.
In other news, CoD4 is being ported to the Wii. #talesofvesperia

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

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.
11/06/09
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

If you follow this forum topic word for word, guaranteed you'll be transcoding files in no time:

Changing containers is not transcoding. Transcoding implies recompressing with a different codec. Media containers are not codecs. They're file envelopes. As such, there's no loss of quality/data as the video and audio files contained within the container remain the same. Containers such as MKV (matroska) exist with the purpose of combining multiple audio/video/subtitle streams into a single file. The specifications of the container describe only the way data is stored (but not coded) within the file. #netflixps3
11/08/09
As for changing containers, the PS3 cannot natively play MKV's, regardless of what avi, mp4, etc it contains). Remember Tversity and other programs like PS3Media Player are used by many people simply because of this reason (streaming video that the PS3 cannot play natively). I'm not sure what you're getting confused with, but try turning off transcoding in the Tversity options when trying to stream to the PS3 with different MKV's and you'll see what I'm talking about :) #netflixps3
11/08/09
The link I provided showed a way to switch from the matroska container, which the ps3 cannot read, to one it can. This makes lossy transcoding unnecessary. #netflixps3
