So, who would have thunk it. I was sitting at my office early this afternoon talking about streaming Netflix with a few of my co-workers, and we began talking about a few of the options. We talked about the Roku, we talked about the XBOX 360, and we talked about a couple of other things. I then brought up my PS3 to the most tech savy of my co-workers and he though there was no way it would ever happen due to their Playstation Store. I agreed, and didn’t think much of it again, until I got home.
When I got home, I did a quick search on PS3 streaming Netflix, and quickly found the Media Server from PlayOn. It is a PC Add-on that allows you to not only stream Netflix, Hulu, CBS, YouTube and CBS, but allows you to do it on your PS3, XBOX 360, HP MediaSmart TV and possibly your Nintendo Wii, in the not so distant future.
The program is in Beta and it does come with a 30 day trial($30 After), but it truly does work as advertised. Granted, it’s probably only a matter of time before Netflix hooks up with Sony and the Playstation 3, but this is an amazing alternative in the meantime, and you need to check it out.
