i found this option today when I was setting up Netflix on my PS3.
My PS3 is networked wirelessly and I was afraid HD content would be too much to stream. Suprisingly, it looked flawless, without stutter. Of course I was the only one using up bandwidth and once my son surfs while downloading things I told him not to and wife gets on Facebook mafia wars...

And this is news now? they have been doing this for some time now and keep adding more and more content as they go. They started with 720p and are now doing 1080 but again this is old news as far as I'm concerned.

You have to have a SA player with a big buffer and your high speed needs to provide lots of bandwidth to get the HD but if you have that it is great. I've never been impressed with the SD streaming this is a big improvement.
