They redid the PS3 netflix UI recently and it's light years better than it was before.  It generally plays streamed content much smoother than 360.

Mine turned into a blu-ray player. I hate the NFLX UI on PS3.

I have never tried out Netflix on the PS3 yet...I mainly use my PS3 for the sake of gaming and gaming only, so other than watching Blu-Rays on it, I use it for gaming. My internet is too slow to work properly with Netflix

Do you already have a Netflix subscription? If so, can't hurt to try, plus they downgrade the quality to work with your connection speed.

Haha OP you're right up there with me, i mostly play my 360 and use my PS3 for KZ2 and Netflix :P 
 
The reason i use my PS3 for Netflix when i could use it on 360? idunno, guess its a small OCD thing i have or something i play most my games on the 360 so idunno it just feels right to let the system rest while i watch Netflix on PS3 don't wanna put too much strain on my new sexy 360 S.

Welcome!  
Depends what you like, doesn't it? The PS3, like all the consoles, has a diverse lineup that fits pretty much any style, so let us know what genres you're into and we'll shoot you some suggestions.

Demon's Souls is fantastic. It won't let you down... not until it slaps you hard across your face like a wet towel. 
 
In all honesty, one of the best PS3 exclusives.

Definitely give Heavy Rain a shot because it's a hell of a good game. A lot of people seem to forget the Ratchet and Clank games, but those are really great as well.

lol wtf is up with you randomly emboldening certain words? And really? A link to the PS3 page? How utterly fucking redundant.

i have to agree Netflix on PS3 is by far the best way to stream Netflix.  
 
 
First off, It's SUPER FAST on PS3. Second, the picture quality and sound are totally HD. Its probably not 1080p but its just as good as anything you'll see on FiOS or Comcast. Last, the new app has a well designed UI. Its very easy and fast to navigate. I love it!

I'm going to disagree on a few accounts.  I've never been able to stream HD content from Netflix PS3, yet routinely hit 720p on my laptop, even when they're in the exact same spot.  Also, it takes more than twice as long to load as Netflix on 360, and isn't much faster than Wii.  The UI has been much improved, however.

Yeah I have a 360 and ps3 and I found the ps3 to be more user friendly for video streaming , etc. If you have files on your computer you would like to stream to your console I would look into PS3 Media Server it is very simple and easy to use. Welcome to the site :D

what?! if you're talking about the disc based version than maybe yeah.. but no. the PS3 is most definitely the best way to view Netflix now with their new App.  
you're crazy. I have the exact opposite experience. My experience with PS3 was so much better that its very hard for me to believe anything your saying.

"Fucking Looney Tunes", huh? 
 
I didn't mean to downplay Netflix on PS3, but I've used the native app (not disc) instead of hooking up my laptop through HDMI, and on every account it booted slower, buffered slower, and was of lower quality (not terrible, mind you, but the website explicitly promised 1080p output).  I haven't used the 360 app in half a year, but I do recall it out-pacing the PS3 app by about 5 seconds, and streaming HD content much more frequently.  Also, the ability to watch certain content with friends over Xbox Live makes it the infinitely better experience.    
 
The PS3 does out-perform the Wii, Roku box, and a Sony Blu-ray player, however.

@Siphillis: i tested it this morning. watched episode 1 season 1 of dexter. i clicked play, and in about 5 seconds it was playing. and after about 1 minute it looked hd. honestly though, i've talked about PS3 netflix a lot on the internet and you are the first person to say you actually think its slower. crazzy talk.
