Nov 6th 2009 8:22PM There's a "need another disc" link on the netflix.com/ps3 page now (^_^ )
Netflix, you RAWK.

Nov 6th 2009 5:16PM Sweet, thanks - when I do a FAQ search for "PS3" I don't get that Q/A.
Now if I can get them to send me a 2nd disc, I won't have to schlep the disc between the two ....

Nov 6th 2009 3:41PM Any word on whether the disc can be used across multiple PS3 units? I notice they have some kind of activation code which no one has mentioned and it's got me worried that each disc will be tied to a single PS3 unit somehow.

Oct 31st 2009 3:29PM @bdav @m_kai_larsen - I see. My assumption was all the people clamoring for N thought that somehow things would magically get faster (I still think at least some of the people do - speed was the only argument dagamer presented, after all), but the points about latency and range are taken. I thought at this stage, current router technology eliminated the older issues with running mixed networks but perhaps this isn't pervasive yet.

Oct 31st 2009 4:27AM Really, you're streaming Blu-ray level bitrates to your PS3? Off hand, the only place I can think of where a consumer can get a hold of such high bitrate video would be ripping from Blu-ray, a fringe usage I'm sure Sony has no interest in supporting.
By the way, you downgraded the theoretical to the typical for 802.11g which is a valid technical point, but you don't do the same for Blu-ray, which is rated up to 40Mbits/sec but typically come in significantly lower (in many cases less than 20Mbits/sec).
I concede that for users that are ripping Blu-rays, 802.11n may have a benefit, but I'm still not convinced it makes any difference for the 99.9999% of the users that don't do this.

Oct 31st 2009 1:55AM Why, you have a connection to the internet that's faster than the 54Mbit speeds 802.11g is capable of?
Or maybe you have video streaming on the local network encoded at higher bitrates than even Blu-ray discs use?
I'm curious why you think 802.11n would make any discernible difference in typical PS3 usage.

Pioneer's 12x BDR-205 Blu-ray burner is so fast it's ahead of its time {Engadget}
Sep 30th 2009 1:50PM I'm with you - I couldn't care less about 4X vs 8X vs 12X, it's the media cost that's holding me back.
It's getting lower though - $3 per disc in quantities of 15 at newegg is the best I've seen so far:
