Netflix interface on PS3 is very clean and really easy to use; we liked it. On the very top of the screen you can select between watching your instant queue or browsing Netflix database genres for a movie. Instead of describing how it works, we decided to shoot a short video. See below.

Even though we liked the clean interface and browsing, each menu takes around 10 seconds to be displayed (see on the video), which is unreasonable for a device that is reading data through the Internet; it should be something instant just like it is browsing Netflix website.

After selecting a movie to be played, playback starts after around 30 seconds. We don’t think this waiting time is bad as we understand that the PS3 needs to load (buffer) the movie before playing it.

Subtitles and different audio tracks are not available. Foreign movies are played already subtitled in English. Also no extras are offered.

The interface does not allow you to search movies, only browse through a pre-selected list of 100 movies for each genre, which of course does not include all movies available from Netflix. If you want to search movies by title, actor, etc, you will need to use an Internet browser (you can exist the Netflix player and use the PS3 integrated web browser or use a computer) and add the movies you’d like to watch to your instant queue, which is a separated queue only for movies you’d like to watch through your PS3 or any other Netflix-ready device.
