Netflix will be streaming movies to Playstation 3 consoles soon.
Although the movie streaming service was initially a Xbox 360 exclusive, Netflix announced that PS3 users will be able to stream HD movies using the service.
Initially, PS3 owners will need to order a Blu-ray disc will will access Netflix content via the BD-Live service.
Sony console owners won't have to fiddle with a disc for long however.
Sony has also announced that there will be a firmware update integrating the Netflix service to the XrossMediaBar next year.
Wii owners will want to sit tight since it looks like Netflix is coming your way as well.
Last month Netflix CEO Reed Hastings said that the company was looking to expand the Netflix service to other outlets.
Eventually we want to be on all the game consoles, all the Blu-ray players, all the Internet TVs. So we are working in parallel with all of those efforts.
With today's PS3 announcement, it will only be a matter of time until we see Netflix on the Nintendo Wii as well.
