Sony confirms Netflix partnership… for Bravias
Sony’s announced a deal to bring Netflix to internet-enabled Bravia TVs, meaning owners of the sets will have access to the service’s thousands of movies out of the box.
Which is great. But there’s no mention of PS3 in the confirmation at all. A little odd, seeing as it’s the most obvious deal in the history of mankind.
Does MS have a console exclusive on the movie outlet? We should probably ask the question.
Bravias get Netflix in the US this autumn.

I wonder how many TVs are connected to the internet.

I was about to ask the same question! Do tellies have built-in network ports now?

It’d be funnier if they didn’t.

I own a Bravia. Must be an older version though as it doesn’t have internet connectivity :/
Would make sense to have Netflix on PS3 though. Maybe the next firmware update will bring the service?

My latest TV has a network port… also an internet browser and DLNA support. Crazy world.

I want a fridge that can connect to the internet so it orders me new food when I’m low.

I’m waiting on toe-nail clippers with LAN support.
