So Netflix has finally come to the PS3, so we decided to give it a shot. We’ve had Netflix before, but it was a pain in the arse sending the DVDs back so we canceled it.
But their instant-streaming package might work out pretty good, so we signed up for the free trial. It’s far cheaper than re-activating our DirecTV, and we don’t really watch that much in the way of TV anyway.
If you’re looking to burn fat in front of the TV, Netflix is the way to do it. I personally hate exercise DVDs, but my wife digs them – she just gets tired of them really quick and wants something new. Instead of spending $50+ on a DVD, just rent one then when you’re sick of it send it back.
I’m a little disappointed that we have to wait for a “streaming disc” in order to activate the PS3 – I’m hoping it integrates well with the PS3 and isn’t like some half-arsed addon, but we’ll see when the disc gets here.
