Well this is weird twist of events over the last 24 hours. -- Here is the breakdown scoop on how Netflix is finally once again working on the Jailbroken PS3 Console!
http://www.ps3crunch.net/forum/images/news/netflix-ps3.jpg
Recently, on the underground 'warez' circles and ISO image of a very rare not-widely released Netflix streaming disc for Yes of all things the PS2 Console has appeared!
So why is that PS3 'scene' news you might ask?
Well, it seems those luckly enough to come across this file and burn it to a DVDR, have found out that low and behold it plays fine on your PS3 console, if you also happen to own an Cobra USB Dongle, as remember recently they updated their dongle firmware patches to handle burned PS2 discs, they have also unlocked the Official Sony PS2 software emulator that is currently locked down by Sony and limited to a few 'whitelisted' titles.
These three facts combine togethar, has produced now a backhanded way to get NetFlix back working on your PS3 Console!
Sadly, for some weird reason the second news source has been already deleted, and I didn't save a screenshot of it earlier when I was reading it! :sorrow:
So I can only quote what is in the first news source, unless they also decided to censor this great breakthru in the PS2 / PS3 'scene' world!
So I was on Blackcats checking out the new releases and I came across a "PS2 netflix disk" uploaded by a fellow Blackcats member named mredfield.
So I gave it a shot on my Cobra USB enabled PS3 and sure enough.... it works! Yes it's lacking all the HD glory of the PS3 version but it works!
Apparently this is a very rare disk so I shall upload it for all to enjoy
"This is verified a legit release from Brazil. I called netflix today and talked on the phone. They said netflix for ps2 is available only in Brazil which is why no info is available, this means it isnt a hack, it wont steal info, ect."
It's also a padded ISO so don't be surprised by the extraction size.
Also I am assuming this will only work on PS3's with native PS2 support.
It's hard for me to tell because I have my NTSC PS3 hooked up to a computer monitor (as far as I can tell it's staying at 60hz). I didn't have to do a Y Fix pal conversion on the iso or anything like I've had to do on some PAL games... so I assume it should work on any NTSC tv.
Also for those wondering I live in North America and my Netflix account works fine despite it being a Brazilian based Netflix disk.
And everything is in English
I can also confirm this working on my fat NTSC ceche PlayStation 3 with my American netflix account. Thank you very much for the heads up +1 :)
PLEASE NOTE: -- No actual Link's to the Netflix PS2 ISO, we are just informing you of the great news. -- I am sure you can find it yourself! :)
