Xbox 360 won’t be the only gaming console with Netflix streaming starting next month. Sony today announced that it has formed a partnership with Netflix and the PS3 will also start supporting Netflix video streaming in November.

“The PlayStation 3 system has always been about more than just gaming, and it will soon be the only platform in the industry to offer consumers such a variety of convenient options for enjoying movies and TV shows,” said Jack Tretton, president and CEO, SCEA. “Whether you want to watch content on Blu-ray disc and DVD, download it from the PlayStation Network’s video delivery service or stream videos instantly from Netflix, the PS3 system is the only solution that offers it all.”

Netflix streaming will be available directly through the XMB. PS3 owners who don’t already have Netflix account can get one for as low as $8.99 per month for unlimited streaming and unlimited DVD rental.
