This is not the last we have heard from the Netflix streaming though. Let's just say that Netflix were incredibly stupid to pick a fight with a company that owns a major studio.

If PSN doesn't get Netflix streaming sometime in the next year, expect Sony to retaliate. Their move could potentially put Netflix out of business or at least in serious trouble.

I remember telling people at Netflix that it was always better to side with the company that owned a massive movie studio, regardless how much the other side were willing to pay (lots of cash up front). If Netflix don't buy themselves out of the stupid exclusivity contract it could sink the company...

Wait, what? Will Sony Pictures really torpedo Netflix over their Xbox Live streaming deal? I know they can't be happy about it, but that seems like strongarm tactics (and in any case, does Sony even have a Netflix-capable infrastructure in the PS3 to put in place in short order?).

Of course, it's perfectly within their rights to do so, I suppose...
