Netflix for the PS3 next month.
Why does Gold still cost money?
I might get a Netflix subscription. It's sort of strange that I'm thinking of getting one now though; I could have just hooked up my laptop to my tv with a VGA cable long before now. Good stuff though. I wonder if Microsoft will start extending the service to silver members now.
Sounds like a casual N4G comment. When the news was leaked about PS3 getting Netflix the comments were anti-360 and beating their chest over how they now have Netflix. Later the same day it is found out that you need the disc in the drive until sometime in 2010. Again instead of saying "oh man" it is still "360 sucks, it is their fault Xbots fail".
I'm am not really for Microsoft charging $50 a year for essentially online play but I pay it anyway because I enjoy the service enough that I will pay for it even if it should be free. In all fairness though I don't think the Gold subscription gets a fair rep. Gold subscribers get into betas and demos before silver member (if the silver members get it at all), they gets DLC early, Facebook, Twitter, Last.FM, Netflix (you have to subscribe to this as well though), parties, video chat, occasional free content.
I still think the service should be free but I just save a bunch of money on my car insurance by switching to Geico.

IN PSTRIPLE RELATED NEWS.
Uncharted 2 came in today and I played the first two missions before I had to go to work. The game is gorgeous and very entertaining. I would say it is worth getting a PS3 over. I look forward to playing through the rest of the game and will try to enjoy the story despite all the spoilers you guys posted in here whilst chit chatting amongst yourselves.
