Netflicks via Game System

[E81]

So we are gonna ditch the pig and just watch movies and such via Netflicks

What's the best (easiest to use) game system I can do that with

Leaning towards Nintendo or a PS3

PS3 is the best for netflix.. you don't have to deal with all that MS bull with the xbox

I would say a PS3. It works with Netflix and Amazon video. Also the PS3 has a built in Blu-ray/DVD player. All of this can be controlled with PS3 BD Remote Control. If you are interested in video games, the PS3 also does that as well. I think it is the most functional device and the best bang for the buck.

I agree and why I have a PS3 instead of an Xbox, not to mention the PSN is free unlike Xbox live. I use mine for dvd and blu ray as well as netflix and gaming.

they should be on store shelves everywhere at the begining of october(but they can be bought online now).

While I use my 360, I have also used PS3 and they both offer great speed and ease of use. I installed a Roku as well as a Blu-Ray player that both have Netflix for a customer of mine and I notice a huge decrease in navigation speed.

This as well, PSN is free and that is a huge plus if you are cutting Pay-TV service due to the cost.

+1 to this. For the cost of a PS3 when they go on sale, you get streaming video, internet browser, blu-ray/dvd player for the price of a plain blu-ray player.
And as a bonus, it can play games as well.
PS3 is really good value for money.

Does the new 3rd gen ps3 play ps2 games?

not the disc. You have to download them from the game store.

correct. only the original FAT ps3 was backwards compatible. however sony is releasing most of the good ps2 games online, revamped in HD. it does make a difference.

I played GOW with my original PS3(upscaled), and then the revamped HD version. the revamped version looks way better.

I agree with this post.
