While the Xbox 360 team have been trumpeting their partnership with Netflix, the raw facts are that to take advantage of it, you have to have Xbox Live Gold. Now comes word that Sony is finalizing a deal to stream some movies and TV shows onto PS3 via Netflix – all within the PlayStation Network, which means, basically, it’s free… no additional charge beyond the Netflix account and a PS3 with broadband hookups.

Is that amazing? Well, it’s nice, at least. And about a year later than it should have been, but who’s quibbling? Not I. All in all, it’s about as appealing as Black and Mild cigars; that that however you will.
