Service expected in the next few months
Netflix has reiterated its commitment to expanding its PS3 services to include disc-free streaming video, according to CEO Reed Hastings. Sometime in the next few months, the company will launch a major upgrade to its PS3 user interface, which will be automatically updated with new UI enhancements.
The company last year promoted its Xbox 360 streaming services as an exclusive offering not available on other consoles, however it was brought to the Wii earlier this year. Over 1 million users are said to have advantage of streaming content on Nintendo's platform in the first few weeks.
As part of its Q2 financial disclosures, Netflix highlighted the demand for its streaming videos such as movies and TV shows. Approximately 61 percent of its customers have streamed at least 15 minutes of a movie or show, up from 37 percent during the same period last year.
