Netflix has begun moving beyond its original business model of mailing DVDs, and is rapidly stepping into on-line streaming content. And one way to add that capability to your home entertainment system is to use a PlayStation 3, or PS3, system to access the online content. These instructions apply to the Playstation 3 and 4: Press the PS button in the middle of your PlayStation controller to go to the Home screen. Select TV & Video. Account, and look for content to watch. (After initially signing into Netflix once you download the app, you can find a Netflix icon on the Xbox Home screen.) Nintendo Wii and WiiU. Download Netflix. You can find Netflix in the PlayStation Store's Apps section. It should only take a few minutes to download and install.
We’ve got the low-down on getting set up with Netflix Canada below.

How To Download Netflix On Your Ps3
Step 2. Visit the Netflix website
Go to the official Netflix website. There’s no need to worry about finding the Canadian website as the Netflix website will automatically direct you there based on your location. Now that you’re on the Netflix website, you should see the screen below.
Unless you already have a Netflix membership, click on the big red button “Join free for a month”.
Step 3. Choose the right plan
At the next screen, click on “See the plans” and you’ll be presented with three payment options: Basic, Standard and Premium. This decision will dictate the picture quality of your Netflix stream and the number of devices you will be able to watch Netflix on at the same time.
- The Basic pack is priced at $8.99 a month. This pack will only allow for one device to stream Netflix at any given time. So, if you can foresee multiple people in the house wanting to watch different shows simultaneously, this one might not be for you. This pack is also restricted from streaming high-definition quality videos.
- The Standard pack is priced at $10.99 and allows for two devices under the one account to stream Netflix at the same time. It also supports high-definition video. This pack would suit households with differing viewing preferences.
- The Premium pack is aimed more towards larger households with a variety of gadgets. At $13.99 per month, the Premium pack allows four different devices to stream Netflix at once, and supports Ultra HD streaming. Ultra HD (sometimes known as 4K) televisions are relatively new to the market, so be sure to check the compatibility of your device before signing up to this one.
Things to consider
Although the more expensive packs allow for concurrent streaming on multiple devices, this does not mean you are limited to watching Netflix on one device. Even on the Basic pack you will be able to stop watching a show on your PS4 or laptop and continue watching your program on your mobile device. There are also no lock-in contracts through Netflix, so don’t stress too much about picking the wrong plan to start out with. You can upgrade and downgrade plans at any time.Step 4. Create your Netflix account
Once you’ve decided on a plan that suits your needs, you will be asked to create an account by entering your email address (eg [email protected]) and creating a new password. You’ll need this password later to sign into your device so be sure to keep it handy. After this, you can decide whether or not you would like to receive special offers from Netflix via the email address you’ve entered. You opt out of this simply by checking the box above the continue button.
Back to topStep 5. Payment options
Once you click “Continue”, you will be taken to the payment options page. You can choose one of two ways to get charged: credit card or PayPal. Alternatively, Netflix also gives you the chance to redeem a gift code. If you have one, simply enter the gift card PIN or code and you’ll be good to go.
You will be directed to the PayPal portal to confirm the purchase then promptly returned to the Netflix website. If you choose to pay via credit card, you will be asked to enter your credit card details into the relevant fields and check the box to confirm that you are over 18 and agree to the terms of use and privacy policy.
People are often wary about credit card use online, but rest assured, the Netflix payment portal is a secure server. If you need to get a credit card or want a new one specifically for online purchases, you can find a comparison of credit cards available in Canada here.
Things to consider
As Netflix is a monthly subscription service you will be required to enter your credit card or PayPal details. As a new member, you will get your first month free and can cancel at any time, but if you don’t cancel, Netflix will begin to charge you after your first month of subscription. However, Netflix tells you exactly when you’ll be charged on the payment page and will email you three days before the trial expires as a reminder.Step 6. Set up Netflix
Netflix is available on just about every mainstream game console, smart device and computer. Some of your devices will already have Netflix installed as a result of a recent update. If this is not the case and you can’t seem to find it already installed on your device, here are some ways to download the application on different devices.

The PS3 has picked up a lot of momentum as of late (thanks to price cuts, PS3 Slim, Uncharted 2), and the addition of Netflix streaming is the most recent blow in the feature-war against the Xbox 360. While Netflix streaming is nearly identical on most devices that support it, there are some significant differences with the PS3 that make it worth testing.
Unlike Netflix streaming on other devices, the PS3 requires the Netflix Streaming Disc for PS3. That means you'll need to request a disc from Netflix and it will come in the mail like a standard Netflix movie. It doesn't count against your allotment of movies allowed out and you never need to return the disc. The disc uses Blu-ray's BD-Live functionality to enable streaming, and this is by far the best use of BD-Live we've seen so far.
Once you insert the Netflix Streaming Disc, it shows up in the XMB in the video section. Select Netflix from the XMB and the experience is largely identical to streaming Netflix on other devices, with a few new features.
The main interface shows you the cover art of the movies in your instant queue, arranged horizontally. If you select a movie, it will show a screen with more detailed information, a summary of the plot, and a star rating. You're also able to scroll horizontally within the more detailed view, without having to return to the main screen. If you stop watching a movie, you're able to resume where you left off or start again from the beginning.
The step-up over standard streaming Netflix devices are the tabs at the top of the interface. With other devices, like the Roku Digital Video Player, you're only able to access movies that you've added to your Instant Queue using a PC. On the PS3, you're given some additional tabs that allow you to browse new arrivals, movies Netflix thinks you'll like, and categories you use often. That's not quite as good as the Xbox 360's Netflix interface, which allows you to add new titles to your instant queue without using a PC, but it's a welcome addition to the basic Netflix streaming available on other devices.

While we've seen some reports that the image quality of streaming Netflix isn't quite as good as it is on the Xbox 360, we didn't notice any significant quality drop-offs in our testing. In our experience, the image quality of streaming Netflix movies is basically identical across devices. We've commented extensively on the image quality in previous hands-on reports, but the main takeaway is that the content labeled 'HD' is nearly DVD quality. The other content is watchable, but videophiles will definitely notice plenty of compression artifacts.

The major frustration with Netflix on the PS3 is that you need to insert the special disc to use the service. That's not the case with Netflix streaming on any other device so far and couch potatoes will complain about that extra trip to the PS3 every time they want to stream a movie.
That being said, we're willing to live with the compromise. As we understand it, the use of a disc is simply a workaround for Netflix's prior agreement with Microsoft to be the only game console with Netflix streaming as part of the software. In that case, we definitely prefer having this optional workaround to no streaming at all. (It appears that Microsoft's exclusivity deal ends in late 2010, at which time Sony can properly integrate Netflix into the software, so you won't need the disc.)
It's also worth pointing out that there's no additional cost (beyond a Netflix subscription) to use Netflix on the PS3; Xbox 360 owners need to have an Xbox Gold Live subscription, which goes for $50 a year.
