Canadians are getting a sneak preview today of the disc-less Netflix hitting North America next month as the streaming video service goes live up north.

Our Canadian brothers and sisters have been without the comfort of streaming Netflix on their video game consoles until today. Not only does America's Hat get their first taste of Netflix streaming console goodness today, they'll do so in a way that us U.S. residents will be waiting another month for.

Instead of popping in the Netflix disc, Canadians can simply navigate to the Netflix icon under the video section of the cross media bar, press the X button, and prepare for a whole new way to watch people doing stuff on their television sets.

Let us know how that goes, Cananda, okay?

    Damn, they need to hurry up and give it to us in America. DO they gotta wait for a contract to expire or something?

    Yea, Netflix pulled one over on MS with it. MS paid for Netflix streaming to be exclusive to them for a year, then announced it to the world that it was only available on the 360. A few days later Netflix announced that it would also be available on the PS3 and the Wii, but you would have to insert a disc. Basically, they exploited a loop-hole in the contract with MS which allowed them to put it on the 3 consoles at the same time.

    Yeah when i got netflix I was like "jo....this goinna be perfect chillen a the crib bored pop in this disc and see pretty much any movie I want" Then when I did the following I was dissappointed by the lack of new movies and how you have to order the newer ones in the mail. Granted it only takes the next day or one day for the movie to come and you can keep it pretty long, how long? not sure, but yeah netflix is overrated, I be if you call in and tell them they might be able to change it up if enough people complain.

    The movie studios ain't having that. Some of them already don't let Netflix carry their movies for rental until a month after the release date in exchange for more streaming movies.
