UPDATE: Both Wii and PS3 now have disc-less solutions. Without the disc, the PS3 is the clear winner, streaming HD video just as fast as the Wii's SD video. Thanks for watching!

Now that I have the instant streaming discs for both the PS3 and the Wii, i figured I'd make a comparison video to show how long it took both systems to launch and watch a video.

I let the videos play for a bit to see if there would be any lag, but there was none on either system. Also, to my surprise the Wii not only loaded faster, but the picture quality was better. I don't get it. I should also mention that I use a Broadband, 1Gig cable connection through COX internet.

  • wii beats ps3 on netflix

  • Dude you seriously need to call your cable internet provider. Your service sucks. I have have 6 meg download DSL and my stuff loads way way faster than yours.

    Aside from that, nothing beats the Wii's interface especially the discless version. The Wii's controls are just simply way more intuitive and a pleasure to navigate through.

  • Wii does support HD video? It has 480p connection... I have Netflix on PS3, Xbox 360 and PC. PS3 has the highest video quality on HD contents then PC and Xbox 360. Xbox 360 doesn't have subtitles like on the other two. It takes longer to connect to a video on Xbox360. When your connection changes, it pauses your video and takes couple more seconds to adjust the video quality. PS3 and PC automatically adjust your video quality w/o corrupting your viewing experience.

  • @PeruchoX i have high speed and my wii loads faster

  • I'm getting a ps3 for christmas, I can't wait.

  • @Gohawk09

    Wii loads faster than PS3.

  • Ummm.. there was a nipple in that video.. tsk tsk.

  • @PATRIOT7ME first of all you spelled "dumbass" wrong. I don't know if I'm supposed to feel insulted or just laugh. Secondly the Wii doesn't have an ethernet port so the only official method of connecting to a network is over Wi-Fi. I don't know about the 3rd party USB-to-ethernet adapter as I haven't tired it, but since the Wii can't output HD there isn't really any need for the added bandwidth a wired connection provides. I'll be sticking with Netflix on the PS3/ 360. Nice talkin to ya, dumbass

  • @Gohawk09 you can wire your wii to the wall dumbaass

  • @xgravismorsx  shut the heck up.
