Netflicks via Game System

['Rush']

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.

Nintendo sensor is pain in the *** when you just want to sit down and watch netflix

Xbox 360 requires to pay like 70$ just to get access to the internet (Netflix) >_<

and PS3 is free + Controller is a breeze to use on netflix. P.S. The wii doesn't have HDMI so, That's a plus for PS3. I have a 15 foot HDMI cable running to my TV hanging on my wall right in front of my treadmill .

We use it on the Xbox and ps3 as a family. I watch it on my iPhone most of the time because its portable. Very easy to watch in bed taking a piss or smoking

If its just for Netflix. either the PS3 or xbox360 will work. I was partial to the UI of netflix on PS3 until they updated it and 'dumbed it down'. Now it doesn't have nearly the same amount of sorting options that it did. The xbox360 netflix UI used to be worse than the PS3 UI. but now its better IMO (having not changed and the PS3 UI haveing gotten worse).

Bother are still serviceable, especially if you search/sort through movies online (on your computer) and add them to your instant queue for easy access on the game system.

Basically get whichever is cheaper. Keep in mind the additional cost of a live membership (yearly subscription) for the xbox. probably a waste of money if you only intend to sue it for netflix, in which case I would stick with the PS3.

Stay away from the nintendo wii, it offers no HD output so unless you're still using a TV from 10 or so years ago you'll be missing out trying to watch videos in 480i instead of 720p+

Hmm, Weird. I've never taken a piss in bed.... Well maybe at a younger age, But yes that seems.... convenient.

I know op you've already made your choice but if you need an additional "box" to watch Netflix on the Roku Lt is an amazing value. 720p HD and and sometimes you can find them on craigslist for under $40.

I've got PS3, Wii and Blu-Ray player in the living room right now. PS3 was the best ... except the HDMI ports on my TV stopped working, so we just mostly use the Blu-Ray player with component cables now.

In the bedroom we've got a Roku, and that's just fantastic. Use that for Amazon, Netflix, Hulu Plus, etc. I'd get another one of those for the living room, except for the issue with the HDMI ports.

I run it off my PS3 but want to get a Roku. I hate the boot time and log in on the PS3.

Either one will work just fine for watching NF. Hit up CL and go for the one that you can get a better deal on.
