A new survey from Netflix is being conducted asking movie-goers if they would be interested in streaming movies from their console of choice. The two mentioned, specifically, are the PlayStation 3 and Wii, however the Wii would be a long ways off.

The survey asks your favorite console and then asks if you would be interested in streaming Netflix video towards it. It certainly shows that they’re considering it. Check out the survey below.

Imagine that, as an added benefit to DVDs by mail, Netflix offers its subscribers the ability to watch movies & TV episodes instantly on their TV via their PS3, choosing from a library of over 12,000 choices. There are no advertisements or trailers and movies start in as little as 30 seconds. You can fast-forward, rewind, and pause or watch again. The movies & TV episodes you watch instantly are included in your Netflix membership for no additional service fee.
To take advantage of this Netflix functionality, you will need:

* A Netflix subscription
* A Netflix Instant Streaming Disc (one-time fee of $9.99). This disc must be put into your PS3 whenever you want to instantly watch movies and TV episodes from Netflix over the Internet
* Your PS3 must be connected to the Internet

Netflix offers the following unlimited DVD plus unlimited streaming plans:

* 1 Unlimited: Rent as many DVDs as you want, 1 DVD out at a time, plus an unlimited number of movies & TV episodes that you can watch instantly on your TV via your PS3. $8.99 per month.
* 2 Unlimited: Rent as many DVDs as you want, 2 DVDs out at a time, plus an unlimited number of movies & TV episodes that you can watch instantly on your TV via your PS3. $13.99 per month.
* 3 Unlimited: Rent as many DVDs as you want, 3 DVDs out at a time, plus an unlimited number of movies & TV episodes that you can watch instantly on your TV via your PS3. $16.99 per month.

    Here’s my dream: Sony unveils an updated interface with better Home integration along with a Netflix application. Maybe even tied directly into the PSN Store.

    However, if this does come to pass Sony would have a leg up thanks the embedded browser. Unless Netflix makes a change to their current setup PS3 owners would, at the very least, be able to log into Netflix and control their Instant Queue.

    I’m all for Netflix coming to the PS3 if it would. Sure it wouldnt replace renting blu-rays, but at least its another option for some titles I wouldnt care about super high def quality as much.
