Default Netflix for PS3 Disc in the Mail

On the day Netflix announced it will be supporting the PS3, I instantly signed up (again) and reserved the disc for it. And I just got an email saying that disc is in the mail. Woot! I'm looking forward to being disappointed by poor quality Netflix streams!

Just a heads up for anyone else that reserved their disc

Is this subscription solely for the PS3 or can it be used for the PC as well?

Sweet, I gotta sign up for this. Streaming on my 360 is good quality for the most part, especially Heroes, that is perfect in HD.

a.) You have to be a regular subscriber of Netflix. I subscribe to the one movie out a time plan.
b.) The PS3 Disc is free, you don't pay extra for it. Just need to be a regular subscriber.
c.) A PS3 with an internet conenction
d.) Supposedly, but not too many in HD. Would have to check Netflix for that.

As a regular subscriber, you can already stream movies to your PC. Along with getting normal movies in the mail, you can use the PS3 streaming as well.

Netflix has arrived and surprisingly, the quality of the 480p streams is much better than expected. I've got Caddy Shack playing now and it's not too bad at all. Definitely watchable.

Hmm, I stream from mega-video on an SD TV and it has pretty good quality. I don't see Netflix being any better.

I have PlayOn "on" my PC. And it streams Netflix (with a sub) Hulu, Crackle and a bunch of other plugins to my PS3. That works well for me.

I just got it.
It BLOWS.
The quality is horrible HD or not and the UI is very very slow.

compared to the 360.
