no, it gives you this disc which acts as the client to stream the movies

The disc is temporary while Netflix works with Sony on implementing it on a firmware update. They decided not to wait for the firmware and just give Netflix users a free disc to load the client for now.
One cool thing is that on the PS3 you will be able to manage your Que, search for movies and update your Que right on the PS3. So the disc thing is temporary while they lock things down. I am canceling my Blockbuster account and switching to Netflix over the weekend. |
