Looks like PS3 owners looking to get in on Netflix's instant streaming will be ready to go as soon as this week. This showed up in my inbox this morning:

Since i live in the UK and will never experience the joy of Netflix or its connectivity with the PS3, i'm going to need a QL to get past this painful time of my life.

Dude, it's Sony and it's PS3, you KNOW there'll be a mandatory install anyway.

nooo. you have to have the disc in when you want to use it dude. install wont matter even if it has it (which i am sure it does)

I'm pissed that I did not receive the email.  I guess I have to wait for who know how long before I get mine.  :(

My disk is in the mail.  I should have it tomorrow.  Curious as to how the interface will be. 
 
It's definitely not as convenient as it is on my Xbox since i need a disk, but i'll give it a whirl. 
 
Heck, i hope i can have both my Xbox and PS3 as "activated devices"     
 
(yes, this is an xpost)

I've been using PlayOn until now, but this will make it much much much easier. I'm excited.
