You can stream Netflix, Hulu, Youtube, and others on your PS3 with PlayOn (all full/widescreen, no zooming needed). I wonder if that will eventually add HD options for netflix as well. Still, more options for HD content is a good thing.

What's PlayOn? I have both the 360 and PS3, but I'm not paying for Xbox live. Have had Netflix for over 4 years now. I want to get more out of what I'm paying for.

I have the 3 at a time plan yet I don't pay extra for blu-ray rentals seeing as I don't have a blu-ray player. Am I correct in assuming that I'll be able to stream HD even if I don't have the blu-ray option included in my netflix plan?
I doubt that you'll be able to stream 1080p most likely 1080i/720p with standard 5.1 dolby/dts so I doubt that this will be blu-ray quality, never the less I'm wondering if the two are linked.
