The support for Netflix instant movies on PS3 will certainly fill a void. But the videophile will still have to wait for the day when truly high-definition movies will be available instantly.

Strong Points

• You can watch several movies and TV shows instantly.
• You can play a movie that you are not sure you will like and abort it if you don’t like and play a different movie.
• Quality for “HD” movies is not so horrible.
• Clean and easy to use interface.

Weak Points

• Standard movie quality is subpar.
• No search option; you need to search movies from your PC or from the PS3 integrated web browser and add them on your “instant queue.”
• Browsing function takes a lot of time (for Internet standards) to display available movies.
• No subtitle option (foreign movies are played with subtitles in English already applied).
• No alternative audio tracks.
• No extras.
• Not all movies from Netflix library are available on streaming format.
