Netflix Streaming Goes 1080p, 5.1

AV aficionados looking for a little more shine from their Netflix titles streamed over 360 or PS3 are in luck, as the film rental company announced today plans to beam its movies to your TV in "full" HD.

That means a 1080p video signal and 5.1 surround sound, just like the PS3 and Xbox video marketplaces can handle. Of course, options will initially be limited, as only 6% of Netflix's library supports this kind of quality, but there'll be plenty more HD content available as time goes on and more films are released to that standard.

1080p streaming is due sometime later this year, and as far as consoles are concerned will only be available to 360 and PS3 owners.

i just canceled my membership last week i wasnt using it much..mabe ill get it again for the HD flicks

they need to put out quality over quantity on that instant streaming because the selection isn't really much to get excited about. you can only watch pineapple express, heroes, the office and a few other tv shows/movies a few times until you get tired of them. I haven't seen a movie or show for awhile as they haven't added anything good lately. they just keep adding old flicks.
