Every time my parents visit me, my dad's completely fascinated with Netflix on my PS3. Today, he asked how he could set it up at home.

The only ways I know how to watch it is through my laptop and my PS3. I mentioned that a PS3 is probably around $250. He's definitely not interested in watching it on a laptop and when I mentioned the Ps3 price, he kinda grimaced.

Now, they have a couple of HD TV's at their place.

Does anyone know how there's other ways to access Netflix aside from the two I mentioned?

I get Netflix through my Samsung Blu-Ray player. You can get a Roku for like sixty bucks.

Yup, Roku is the thing for him.

Awesome, that seems like exactly what he'd want. Thanks, guys.

...

Shame I couldn't convince him to get a PS3.

Nick, I have a Roku I never use. Send me a PM.

Yea. Many new DVD/Blu-Ray players have netflix option built in now

Heck, if you can convince him a new TV, it has a built in option like Dave got! *jealous*

heh. That is an easy fix with a wifi router.

I thought Netflix didn't work on the roku in canada?

It was because Netflix itself wasn't available in Canada until sometime last year. So it should work now...I think?

Curiosity got the better of me and I e-mailed their support team. Not only do they not ship to Canada, Netflix doesn't work on it here. So even if you had someone ship it to you you'd get nuttin'.

You can't throw a rock in your local electronics store without hitting a device that has Netflix included. Phones, game consoles, set-top boxes, DVRs, TV's. They all have Netflix, and usually one or two other video streaming apps.

AppleTV has netflix support as well.
