Yup. My Costco bundle came with the remote, plus an extra controller.

What do you mean bundled? Like the Costco bundle? I had to buy the remote separate for an additional $30.

I believe only the bundled PS3 comes with a remote.

Speaking of remotes, doesn’t the PS3 come with one, while with xbox you have to pay like $20 to get one?

The PS3 feels like it is meant for stuff like this. Watching TV on the Xbox 360 feels like weird for some reason, and the remote on the Xbox feels like a toy.

Search would be a great function, not sure why it’s missing. Hopefully the PS3 version will have it.

I feel your pain on not being able to search. The PS3 just keeps climbing up the ladder as the most desirable gaming console. It already is a better value with built in wi-fi, and you don’t have to pay $50 a year to game online. I’m totally torn between the two systems.

Yea! I've been waiting for this too. I use Netflix on the xbox360 at work, but I really really want to use my PS3 at home.

Is that weird? I have both, but the PS3 just feels like so much more potential. I want 1080p from netflix. That would be awesome. Anyone know if it will support it?

Also, please please make it easy to use. The Xbox version is simple to use, by I hate not being able to search.

I have been waiting for this forever. I hope Netflix decides to offer newer movies than what they do on the Xbox 360. They also need more HD content.
