A new version of Netflix is heading to the PlayStation 3, according to CEO Reed Hastings. During the company’s Q2 2010 financial call, Hastings said that the movie and TV streaming service on PS3 will soon not require a disc.
Currently you must use a disc to stream Netflix content on your PS3, but the online video rental service will soon offer instant streaming to Sony’s console.
Hastings said that the update will occur “before our next [earnings] call in October,” with a new version of the interface that will not require a disc.
Netflix, and the addition of Hulu, offers PS3 owners some decent options for streaming movies and TV shows directly to their consoles.
