last100: Roku to open its Netflix set-top box

  • Nate · 1 year ago
    Roku is a nice addition for users who want easy access to Netflix movies with the click of a remote. But when the gadgets and gizmos start piling up, you will notice your media center is starting to get way too cluttered. Xbox360 has plugin support despite being forced to have to utilize Windows Vista to get Netflix.

    I just found out a few days ago that Netflix support is finally available for PS3 users.

    I was able to contact the CTO of the company to get some thoughts on the general direction that PlayOn will be taking. I believe they have corned a niche market for PS3 users by having Hulu and Netflix support. They are looking to expand into other parts of the video streaming market which would put it in there with the likes of Tversity, Twonkymedia, and Medialink. But none of those programs offer Netflix support.

    So if you are a PS3 user, and feel left out of this Netflix hype, your dream has finally come true.
