Netflix might soon be dropping the required disc that allows you to stream movies onto the PlayStation 3.

PlayStation 3 owners were delighted when Netflix announced they would be offering its subscribers the option of streaming movies onto their console, after they had to look on while Xbox 360 owners were enjoying the service for a long time. The excitement was a little dampened when it was announced it would require a disc instead of the cool dashboard integration that the Xbox 360 had. No timeline was set when this requirement would end but maybe people believed it would be through 2010.

That time may finally be coming to end for PS3 owners. It was announced during an earnings call today that before their next call in October, the PlayStation 3 would receive a major update that would include Netflix integration. This is great news for the service and for anybody that is a fan of the push towards streaming media. They also announced they would be adding a ton more streaming TV options as well.
