tkdog writes "Netflix has added Sony's PlayStation 3 and Nintendo's Wii to the list of devices that can stream their catalog's content without the need for a disc. On the Netflix blog, VP Greg Peters adds, 'In addition to removing the need for discs, we've developed a new user interface on both applications that significantly improves the experience. The new applications will allow you to search for content directly from the device and you'll also be able to view an increasing portion of our content library with subtitles or alternate audio tracks.'"

It might be a little rough around the edges, but I'm limited only by whatever media I have stored on my FTP server, SD Card or USB drive. Being able to view videos from Youtube and listen to Shoutcast streams is pretty nice as well.

Sure, you need to install the Homebrew Channel first, but that's easy enough.
