For the moment netflix HD is not like a BluRay...but netflix streaming will be getting better soon, and already streams in higher resolution than the Wii supports. (Nintendo insists that their customers don't want HD).

Also, my experience with watching netflix on PC, 360, and PS3 has convinced me that it is best on PS3...I can only think of two reasons why this might be the case:

1.) The PS3's cell engine is a great on-the-fly video processor; better than what most PCs have to work with, and better than what the 360 has as well.

2.) The PC and 360 versions of netflix are silverlight-based; the PS3 version does not appear to use silverlight (but it might; I don't know)
