Used in combination with a Playstation and the internet Netflix offers free streaming of multiple titles in their library. This is a life saver many parents because they can hand select what TV shows their children watch. Recently my son watched Blues Clues and the Wiggles through streaming using the PS3. Later that night I watched old episodes of Jon and Kate Plus 8. Of course, they offer movies with the streaming service as well.
I had been using the service sporadically before on the computer but I would much prefer the comfort of watching my favorite shows on my TV. I was so happy when I discovered I watch the streaming movies and shows using the PS3 that we already had. Netflix offers a great service for our family.
