Yeah, we've been streaming over the PS3 since the day we got it. It's especially nice for TV series.

Most of the time it's licensing issues holding things up, not just the whim of what they feel like loading up next. I imagine that DVD sales for "Killer Drag Queens on Dope" were pretty slim, so no one objected to it being streamed online.

Yes, I've been reading Comcast taking control of more media sources, along with HBO, will probably put the screws to Netflix streaming through licensing fees.
