what....ummm, the PS3 still needs a disc, and actually, it is said to be a year before you won't need the disc. I have the service. I know first hand. http://kotaku.com/5401870/hey-ps3-owners-hold-onto-your-netflix-discs
Also, Comparing both systems implementation of netflix, 360 does have a leg up, they aren't identical. The 360 currently allows party viewing, which means you can watch a movie with your friends over xbox live and chat during the movie, which is great so I can hang out with my friends all over the country and watch a movie.
I don't know if it's just because I have my PS3 running wireless and my 360 connected directly, it shouldn't be, but the PS3 netflix takes a lot longer to load and runs slower in general.
Both are aesthetically different, not sure which I prefer, but the lack of features has prevented me from spending too much time with the PS3

Totally agree, that'd be cool if you have friends. I know my brother has friends on PS3, I barely have any (he plays it more than I do).
As for 360/PS3 vs. PC. Netflix is better on console or PC? ...

Yes, you have to use the disk for now, but early 2010 you they have announced a system wide update for the PS3 which will have the netflix software in it.

Where is this announcement, because I don't see it anywhere official.

360 hands down. You have to watch it in a web browser on PC, yes it can go full screen, but meh. Also no party feature. It's just a lot simpler and easier on console. I'm pretty sure the party feature will stay 360 exclusive as live is the one hosting it, not netflix.

My XBox has RRoD'd a couple of times already.
Yeah, it may be more popular than the PS3, but
I'm starting to think that the PS3 is a much better investment.
They're planning a 10-year lifespan for the thing, it plays Blu-Ray movies
and is more powerful than the XBox.
If my XBox RRoD's one more time I'm switching to the PS3 camp.
