The amount of electronics thrown away rather than recycled in 2007.
The EPA reports that 82% of electronics disposal in 2007 ended up in the garbage (mostly landfills) rather than a recycling center. (source: EPA, July 2008)

let's hope it's a matter of time for the PS3 to do the same :)
I can see LG doing this to their players (BD300 / BH200) before the PS will ever allow it. (After all, how would Sony make money on its downloads)
PlayOn works well on the PS3 and is a good interim (maybe permanent) solution.
T-Bone: what makes you think so? before netflix came to xbox 360 you could download/rent movies from the XB market place. The same concept would go for PS3, eventually IMO
Bozster: you sound like the guy who said DivX was NEVER coming to PS3... not only did it come, but it became DivX hardware certified. Such a h8r
Unlike the 360 which of course is still renting SD and HD Movies and TV programs on Xbox LIVE, the Sony is pushing Blu-Ray with the PS3. That's where the money is to be made for Sony. Not Games, Games are Minor, it's Royalties for Blu-Ray Players and Movies. Having another company stream movies to the PS3 isn't making Sony the money they want. Sony has a lot invested in Blu-Ray. PlayOn works pretty good, I'm using it on my 360, not for Netflex but for everything else and it works great. It may not be Built-In Netflex, but it gets the job done.
JBDragon:
I still disagree. your point would only make sense if the PS3 did not currently rent/sell HD/SD movies tv shows. Yes, they do have a lot invested in their precious blu-ray. And if your point was valid... why the hell is Samsung doing something like this? They're selling diversity, a cheap slogan would suggest "we play blu-ray and your HD streams".
I'm not saying you intended this, but you're thinking is very linear and you need to change your mindset on BD players playing netflix... they CAN count on blu-ray to make the sale, but for those who want to grab an HD show, or a quick HD rental, now they have that option...
As for me (and not saying i'm the entire BD market)... i'll buy the must own BD movies, while i may use the HD netflix to grab a movie to plan ahead of my impulses for entertainment value.
You're right.... DVD players didn't have this... your thinking = too linear / dated... break the mold my brutha :)
Spoke with Samsung tech Dec 12th. They say Netflix streaming will be coming Jan or Feb 2009 to BD-P1500.
