What the Flix?

I don't know about you guys, but imo, one of the very few missing features I'd like in the PS3 (when compared to the 360) is ... Netflix.

Granted, the choice of films and TV series isn't all that mindblowing, but still I find it to be a very nice feature.

Seemed until now that Sony and Netflix (despite now 2 polls by Netflix asking about PS3 support) weren't in too good terms, but here's what just happened:

Bravia TVs are now Netflix compatible, starting this fall, for TVs equiped with the internet module.
No mention of the PS3 in the anouncement... uh ?

Hoping this is a good sign though.
