You do realize that the Hulu and YouTube players are flash based and cannot (as of yet) reach the resolution of the NetFlix player…

wrong info on this article.
the $1 blue ray charge is for renting blue ray disc.
There is no streaming blue-ray movie from netflix.
All they stream is low def old movies same as those you got for free from their web site. It’s just that you can watch it from the blue ray player rather than a PC.
It’s not really that great since they don’t put all movie on the streaming catalog. Not even most of the latest popular DVDs.
Apple cost more but at least they sell you new stuff.
I hope sony come up with something better for their PS3.

Does anyone know if Netflix plans on adding the streaming feature for Playstation 3 and not just Xbox?

Now if Netflix could only release their software for Linux users!

I mean, the Roku player already uses Linux software.

I watch Hulu and YouTube (and broadcast TV) on my Kubuntu Linux laptop already, often connected to my TV.

Linux desktops are now 8% of the market (more than Apple) and growing exponentially.

The only thing I’m missing is watching Netflix on my Linux laptop.

Frank is correct. In fact, the link provided for the $215 Blu-ray player is actually for the Samsung BD-P1500.
