When I read that Netflix created an app for this, I was like, DUDE.... then I was like dude?. I'm going to check out the specs of LeapFrogs LeapPad and if it has netflix, I may drive to Los Gatos and Occupy Netflix.
Who's with me?
It's not that netflix is all that great, but anyone else feel like the red headed step child? No offence to any step children, ginger or otherwise.

And if netflix is not important to "you" why ruin other peoples threads? It happens to be a service I use daily and would get benefit from if I could use the PB to view all my favorite History channel episodes

But the PSVita probably sold more units pre-launch than the pb might ever sell! It's a gaming device... our pb's are supposed to be business devices, with some entertainment added... that's why the pb won't attract as many buyers and that's why companies won't dedicate as much of their resources towards it.
Personally, I don't use my pb for business, I use it more for entertainment so it's kind of frustrating too. I know skype and netflix would function great on the device, but atleast I'm happy with the apps that I do have on it.02-27-12 11:37 AM - I didn't' mean to hurt your feelings, but this NetFlix thing is getting really old. If you want to make a difference why don't you flood their inbox with app request for the PB, complaining about it here won't help since I highly doubt NetFlix employees come to this site.

02-27-12 12:08 PM - Bingo! netflix is making WAYYY to much $$$ on all the "popular" devices to give a s#�t about a device that has such a "relatively" small following compared to the more established devices :/ and they know half the PB owners that want a netflix app are most likely already paying for netflix so why would they bother until the playbook starts getting the recognition "I think" it deserves.. I'm sure it wouldn't even be that hard for them to do but until they know the playbook's here to stay... Idk... I won't go on my usual netflix rant again but.... FLASH+GOOGLE=PIRATE BOOTY! Dig around the interwebs a bit and you will find a he'll of a lot more content then netflix will EVER have.. Ever...

As far as the number of Netflix posts go, well, you just added to the list (thanks) and it stopped being funny months ago...at least from my POV.
The next Netflix post anyone wants to see/read is "Netflix is now available for BB PB owners". Mind you, not me. I could care less about Netflix.02-27-12 01:58 PM - You know what would stop netflix threads? If people like yourself would stop posting on them. This one is 2 pages long already and has been at the top all day. Good job.If that's truly the case then you posted in the wrong Crackberry forum or you didn't require the redheaded stepchild comment (ie the playbook has been left out).

On December 17, 2011, the PlayStation Vita was launched in Japan with 325,000 units sold in the first few days after the launch. Sales dropped 78% in the 2nd week ending on December 25, 2011 to 74,000 units sold. PlayStation Vita sales continued to drop in subsequent weeks, reaching an all-time low of under 14,000 units in the 9th week ending February 15, 2012.
In the week of February 13, the PS Vita reached its lowest sales in a week in Japan, with only 12,309 units being sold, being behind its predecessor, the PSP (with 14,824).
No word yet on US launch but being a hardcore gamer I have one and it's a slick device. I have no need for Netflix (or Hulu) as I have terrabytes of media and streaming is less than ideal. Playbook with HDMI out is killer, add some more codec support and OTG for USB drives and Playbook would be the killer device for those that don't *cough* purchase content02-27-12 02:25 PM
