Currently, PS3 owners have to insert a disc in order to use the Netflix application on their system. The company has indicated, however, that the long promised disc-less streaming application will be coming soon.
“Before our next call in October, we expect to be launching a major new version of our Sony PS3 user interface which doesn’t require a disc and is dynamically updated continuously with the latest Netflix UI improvements, Netflix CEO Reed Hastings.
As for Hulu Plus, which is available for PS3 in preview form, Hastings said, “Once Hulu Plus has a few hundred thousand subscribers we’ll be able to learn from consumers what they like about Hulu Plus. Then we’ll work to incorporate what we find back into Netflix. The Hulu team is sharp, and we’re not going to underestimate them.”
