Does that mean you are connecting at G speed? I didn't know the PS3 was capable of a N wireless connection? Have you watched HD content successfully?

I have my Airport Extreme Base Station set to wireless N only and my PS3 connects to it. I guess it's connecting at G speed, but it's weird that it connects at all.
What do you mean by HD content? From what I've read on the Netflix website, you can stream up to DVD quality depending on your internet connection.
I'm still in the trial phase of my Netflix membership and haven't ordered the disc needed just yet because I haven't decided if I'm going to keep the service. I was asking about HD simply because others in this thread were discussing HD playback through this method and I would obviously prefer HD content if it is indeed available.
To put it this way, I have my PS3 hooked up to my 52" Samsung HDTV (1080p) with an HDMI cable and the Netflix streaming is like watching a DVD. At least from what I've watched, there is nothing in an HD format that would resemble anything higher than DVD quality.
I think that the Netflix streaming works just like you'd want it to and the quality is fine.
If I were you, I would go ahead with Netflix. You can't go wrong with unlimited streaming and unlimited rentals (1 at a time) for $8.99 a month.
Yeah my wife has really enjoyed getting kids stuff for our son and ripping it all for playback on the iPod or PS3.
