Netflix available in Brazil

"Netflix is already woring with PS3 US model here in Brazil.

How would you explain this? I mean, if Netflix adopted a different DRM for Brazil, does it mean that the PS3 hardware already support it, while the Live Plus do not?"

That’s exaclty what I was thinking.

I have a PS3. Bought more than 3 years ago. Netflix was launched in Brazil yesterday. I turned the PS3 on, pointed it to netflix. It asked me to download a new version of the netflix software and voilà. It’s working perfectly.

Why can the PS3 work without a new DRM hardware? Guys at Sony would never do something like “hey guys, you want netflix? buy a new ps3!”.

If WD says that we will have to buy a new player just because Netflix, I will sell my player, cancel netflix and will never buy anything from WD or netflix again. There are other brands, other players and online services just waiting.
