If you've already received but haven't tried out your free Netflix PS3 streaming disc yet, do it now. Sony and Netflix have announced that the movie streaming service is now live.

Sequels, sequels, sequels. Lots of talk about those this week. While most other companies are busy making sure they get to release a big-name game with a "2" after its title, Media Molecule is preferring the opposite, opting for a sequel-less yet DLC-supported approach for LittleBigPlanet. Speaking of, it seems the PS3 price cuts are also doing wonders for software sales when it comes to sequels, or so an OTX report tells us.

Movie-loving PS3 owners who took advantage of the recent PS3 support announcement from Netflix should go check their emails right now. Netflix has sent out a mass email saying that the streaming discs are shipping out today.

That didn't take too long to confirm. A mere day after word got out of the possibility that Netflix will indeed be coming to either the PS3 or the Wii (or both), we now have official confirmation from Sony that the movie streaming service will definitely be on their console. Details after the jump.

They wouldn't say which hardware their service will be coming to, but it sure did wonders for their stocks. Netflix just sent out word Friday that they will be offering their movie streaming service soon through a device "owned by a large number of consumers."

If Reed Hastings had his way, his movie rental company's services would be spread out over all three seventh generation consoles. That's what the Netflix CEO told Reuters earlier this week.
