Brian Crecente — Starting today, Nintendo 3DS owners across the United States and Canada can download a free application that allows Netflix members to watch TV episodes and movies streaming from Netflix with an Internet connection.
The 3DS will also also soon have access to "an additional library of select movies" that can be viewed in 3D, Nintendo says.
"The new Netflix application looks great, plays great and is a fantastic consumer experience," said Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime. "It gives Nintendo 3DS owners access to an amazing wealth of movies and TV shows, which they can watch conveniently from thousands of free Wi-Fi access points across the country. Nintendo 3DS truly offers something for everyone."
The new Netflix application, available for free on Nintendo's eShop, displays movies and TV episodes in 2D on the system's upper screen. "Users will soon have access to an additional library of select movies that can be viewed in 3D without the need for special glasses," according to the press release.
Use of the Netflix application on Nintendo 3DS requires a broadband Internet connection and a Netflix streaming membership starting at $7.99 a month.
The Nintendo 3DS system's parental control settings can be used to manage access to the Netflix application. Parental control settings already associated with a Netflix account will be applied to the streaming content viewable on the Nintendo 3DS system.
didnt see this specific info posted anywhere. FLAME ON IF IM WRONG *****ES LOL
This probably belongs in the Nintendo 3DS subforum.
I was posting it here in hopes that maybe we would have this fantastic option in the future too. Maybe get the ball rolling on some type of port over or something. If the mods feel the need to move it. No hurt feelings.
Yeah this is 100% relevant to us. I can't wait to have streaming 3d movies. Might be a price increase like blue ray though :/
lol
seperate fees for:
streaming
dvd
blu ray
now 3D
Ha. They better not. They already increased the price 60 %....

So today at work (I Work at Best Buy) I was bored and found the media share app. Turned it on and the new Samsung and Sony Smart TV's could pick up my phones music, Movies, and Pictures over WIFI. Which is cool on its own. But I also noticed that the 3D T.V.s could pick up the 3D movies on my phone. So I was streaming avatar in 3D to the Sony TV and watching that for a little bit. The Samsung also recognizes 3d movies you filmed from the 3VO's Camera. Unfortunately It doesn't recognize 3D Pictures, so I'm trying to find a work around for that. But still Pretty cool for Samsung 3d tv's!! (For some reason i couldn't get it to stream the 3VO's 3D film on the sony when it played avatar considering their both mp4 files. I'll mess more with that when I go back, I might just have been in the wrong folder when I tried cus a customer was bugging me )
Just a heads up for those interested, I was only streaming a compressed 3d movie. Resolution was formatted to 940X540 i.e. the 3VO's screen. I'm Planning on trying to stream a full size 1080p Movie when I work next. Ill keep anyone whose interested informed on my progress. The only prob is a full size movie is anywhere from 10-18GB depending on length so I also need a bigger SD Card
I'm Also looking to test on Panasonic 3D TV's because I believe they support more formats than Samsung when it comes to picture formats, but unfortunately my Best Buy doesn't have a 3D Panasonic TV on display so that'll have to come later...
I think it can push to any DLNA tv
yeah, not to detract from your discovery, but that's kinda the point of DLNA.
...regardless, it's still a fantastic feature.
Now that PS3 controllers work natively, has anyone had experience with PSX emulators on this tablet? which one works best?
I ask before I pay rofl
I use FPse, it works fine, but has sound problems in some games. With FPse I use not original sony controller.
I did not have time to test psxperia version 2. Version 1 did not work.
Sent from my R800i
anyone tried FPSe or PSX player w/ official PS3 joypad via bluetooth?
Tempted to drop the cash on FPSe anyway but if it doesn't work with the joypad then I'll be p1ssed (can't see why not as long as it supports manually assigning buttons).
I swear I bought a PSX emulator in the distant past, ran like a dog on my Nexus One, forgot about it, now can't find it anywhere. Could have been removed like SNESoid. That policy is ---- terrible, at least let us DL the last available version for those who've PAID the money lol.

I will try that tonight when I get home, I will run the FPSE with my favourite game, Street Fighter and use my PS3 controller to play the game via bluetooth.

appreciate it, I'll be getting back to wifi tomorrow (on holidays now so only intermittently available, defo not in a comfortable system tinkering setting rofl) so would appreciate if you let me know how well it works (or not).
SNES emulation w/ PS3 joypad is perfect with SNESdroid (after a bit of manual settings), PSX emulation would be the ultimate.
I don't understand why Sony hasn't gotten off their butts and placed the entire PSX catalogue or as much of it as they can legally manage onto the official PS Store channels, and at a better price point - those ROMs are free money basically. I would happily pay official prices for ease of use/DL etc. if they had a better selection and pricing. (e.g. 3-5 USD per game). Why there's only ten or so titles right now I have no idea (or is there more on the store on Xperia play?).
If they managed it they could basically take an almighty crap on even the apple store's games catalogue in one swoop, the games are all already done and most of them work fine via emulation already.

I have tested to install the FPSE Emulator on my Tablet, launch the FPSE with my PS3 controller connected via bluetooth then proceed to play the game by loading the Street Fighter ROM.
Of course, you will need to disable the on-screen controller layout then configure the hardware keys then you will be able to control using the Digital Pad and Analog joystick to play the game, it is fun playing the Street Fighter game on my Tablet with the PS3 wirelessly.
market error: the item you were attempting to purchase could not be found
?!?!?!?
EDIT: figured it out, its been bloody marked as incompatible in the market for this model. I'm betting Sony had something to do with this. FWIW getting the APK (I bought it on my Atrix) and manually sideloading it works fine.
Bloody sony, typical for them to shoot themselves in the foot (memo: if you're gonna ban emulators, have more than a pathetic dozen games in your official market, and only crap ones at that rofl).
though I do swear even though I'm getting 60fps, it 'feels' way choppier, should be butter smooth but just doesn't feel like it, if I had to guess I would have said ~20-25fps. I do have framelimiter on, because if I have it off the gameplay is on super turbo faster than the human eye lol

I'm running into the same issue. It looks like it has to do with the new dual core option in the latest version (though I'm not sure why it would). I tested different settings with the option to show the fps on. With the Dual core option on it reports that i'm currently running at around 60 fps yet menus and gameplay seemed to sttutter more than they should. With the option off, it reports that I'm around 40 fps and yet menus and gameplay seem smoother. Both os these is with the framelimiter on. I used Hot Shots Golf 2 for testing.
cheers I'll try turning it off lol

Hi all,
I was hoping someone could offer some advice.
I am due to be working away from home for half the month and at the moment my set up at home consists of a beast of a gaming rig. I don't want to fork out for an expensive gaming laptop and thought the prime might be a good option for me.
So a few questions...
1. How do the remote desktop applications fare on the prime? Essentially I would need to use the prime to wake up my pc at home, control torrent downloads and maybe play a game with low graphic demands like football manager (i'm not expecting BF3 or other FPS...could an MMO work via remote desktop? like TOR?)
2. With regards to the "cloud storage" do you get 2gb with the transformer prime? if so can this also be accessed via a pc at home? So I could for example...
Remotely download a movie.
Put the movie file onto the cloud storage.
Access the movie file from my prime so that I can watch it in an area without wifi.
3. Is there a way to add a 3g dongle to the prime?
4. I am due a phone upgrade in March. I currently have a HTC desire which has stood the test of time for it's 2 year contract. Money is a little tight so I was considering getting my phone upgrade and sticking it on ebay to cover most of the prime's cost. I figure I only need a phone for calls and the built in sat nav and the prime can do the rest. also my HTC desire can only get me £75 from mobile recycling places.
5. As I have to wait until March is there a tablet I have overlooked which will be released in March that would be superior to this...basically if i am waiting until March should I hold out for something else?
Thanks in advance for the replies everyone!

Funny, any chance of getting a serious answer though?
100+ views and no proper response?
am i doing something wrong?
1 the preloaded software only works when the laptop is already in but it is smooth enough to play something simple
2 yes download movie in PC upload top cloud storage them you can watch it without wifi our already some services allow that
3 no 3g dongle it's a wifi tablet
4 get the nexus a you can find them cheap and feet ics on them
5 tablets well be the same by March all quad core all same resolution that's my view anyway all you can do its wait and pick on personal opinion

As per 1. Could you elaborate a bit more about the pre loaded software...also what do you mean by "only works when the laptop is already in"

I meant already on* so the laptop has to be open already so you can't turn it on from the tablet and go into the my cloud app then my desktop there is the software to do this

I use Teamviewer, it runs the computer just like I was in front of it, never tried major gaming on it though. I don't think it would work well since most of the login apps out there decrease colors and other things to enhance performance.
2. With regards to the "cloud storage" do you get 2gb with the transformer prime? if so can this also be accessed via a pc at home? So I could for example...
You get 8 gb, and yes you can access/sync it from any computer. I use it to sync my work, Prime, and home computer files
Remotely download a movie.
Put the movie file onto the cloud storage.
Access the movie file from my prime so that I can watch it in an area without wifi.
In order to do that it will have to be downloaded first to your prime, but it can be done.
3. Is there a way to add a 3g dongle to the prime?
Don't know

right now it really is a waiting game to see what other tablets come out by then, if any. Probably the Ipad3 will be out, and I would guess 1-2 more Tegra 3 tabs, but they may hit production delays just like the prime did, no one really knows, right now it is a crap shoot. The great part is this tab is going to be competitive with anything that comes out next year for the most part.
Thanks in advance for the replies everyone!

Ok, my msg is too short....
You can control your PC over the internet using TeamViewer. No, you won't be able to play an MMO or do other major gaming on it. I guarantee you that TOR will be a slideshow, you'll be able to gather nodes (if you log near them) and manage Crew Missions but that's about it.
If you are running Windows7 you will need to use a Magic Packet to wake your PC to manage torrents, etc. I believe there is also an Android app that will remotely manage Mircotorrent (aka uTorrent) remotely without requiring you to manage your PC.
You can share your files via DropBox (or similar) as long as you are mindful of the 2GB limit.
No better tablet has been announced for March release yet, and if it were (given the industry standard of badly slipped release dates) I wouldn't count on it. Now if one had been announced with a January release....
You can remote in using Splashtop HD to remote in. It transmits both video and audio. Just have to install remote viewer software on the pc.

In relation to the 3g single question, Asus feel that as android phones can tether then peeople would just tether to their prime. Obviously they are assuming that everyone with a prime will already have a smart phone with tethering available, this is a stretch.

wow some fantastic comments thank you all.
I think there has to be a limit to expectation here. I'm not expecting the remote desktop to run things perfectly but it won't be it's primary function otherwise I'd just get a laptop.
So £500 then...I wonder if carphonewarehouse would do a deal if you buy a contract from them.
splashtop HD or built in splashtop in mycloud in mydesktop should work fine for video or gaming. just make sure to load reviewer on to PC. pretty simple setup. load reviewer on PC. load on tablet. enter names and passwords on both devices and your good to go.
another thing to look at for gaming is OnLive. its out for Android. allows you to play PC/console/Indie games through the cloud on OnLive servers. response time is fastest out there and basically no lag. feels just as if you natively playing the game. there are some great games up there like PC/Nvidia optimized Batman Arkham City, Homefront fps, Metro 2033, unreal tournament(PC version), etc.. the games look and play great on the prime. no loss in quality basically. the app is free from marketplace. free to make an account. you get to play all the games with a free 30 min. trial period. you can flat out buy the game but best seems to be the bundle package. for $9.99 a month you have unlimited access to 100's of top notch PC/console games. I was playing Darksiders, through OnLive, on my prime. no lag at all, graphics looked sick. definitely a cool experience and great deal considering the caliber and number of games they have up there.

NICE! I never needed a reason for onlive...I'll have to check it out.
SO I rented Death Proof from the play store, I hooked up my Prime to my Samsung TV, made sure my input was set to just scan, since 16x9 caused overscan, hit play and all I got was sound and no movie, unplug cable movie plays fine on Prime. So I thought OK maybe it's a streaming problem, so I downloaded it instead of streaming it, same result. Came to work today and hooked my monitor up with a different cable, same result.
My Prime isnt unlocked, just rooted. I am able to play other files and play games just fine over hdmi, but no go for play rentals?
Whats up with that google/Asus?

Please search the forum, the topic has already been discussed multiple times.
Due to copyrighted reason Google doesn't allow movie rented from the tablets to be transferred to a bigger screen.
Thanks for the reply.
You try to play by the rules (purchasing a rental) and they restrict that you can't watch it on the big screen, thats crap and makes people do the download thing.
I had the same question. I guess there will be no renting from Google, they really limited themselves, who wants to watch the movie on a 10 inch screen with a 46 inch in the room?

I was reading in another thread about Google's movies policy and it should be able to go full screen. Somethings messed up in the way the rentals are being handled.

I doubt it's Google policy but would lean toward drm laws and the mpaa.

Watching on your HDTV
To watch movies rented on Google Play on your HDTV, you'll need:
an HDTV that supports High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP)—check your tv manufacturer's website to see if your HDTV is HDCP compliant
a Micro-HDMI to HDMI cable or an MHL adapter and HDMI cable, depending on your device
Once you connect your device to your HDTV, the screen of your device should be mirrored on your HDTV (both display the same content), with the audio playing on your HDTV. If the video plays without audio on your HDTV, you may need to change the input in your HDTV's audio settings.

Google should never have agreed to MPAA terms for movie business segment. Root on android is really no different than administrator rights within windows.
Google gave up a lot to get rights for movie rights that few will use more than once. $5 to rent a movie to rent a movie that can only be viewed on a 10 inch (or smaller) screen without ability to output via HDMI? Can't imagine many, even the non tech savvy, to make the mistake of renting from Google Market more than once.
Someday the MPAA will realize that their attempts at preventing piracy only serve to promote it. Until they get a clue, Market will not be a viable source for movie rentals.

I meet those standards and I have the right cables and so forth. It looks pretty black and white to me that it should work.
I don't think root is causing the issue as people who haven't rooted can't get it to work, like someone else posted some flag is messed up somewhere.
EDIT: NM it seems rented videos are working fine on rooted Primes.

Mine is rooted and I've just rented and watched a movie directly on the Prime. However, I cannot see it on my TV.
I suppose it could be worse, they could just say F You, your rooted and no video at all. But this is the last time I rent anything from them until they get this straightened out. Has anyone tried playing it directly from the browser instead of through the play app?
Edit: Doesn't work, tried requesting desktop page, about:debug and setting browser to desktop, no dice.

I believe that it's working at all on rooted Primes is a bug in and of itself. Play movies will not play rental content on my rooted phone with a message saying as much.
Google movies do work on rooted devices, but they're not supposed to. If you look at the amazon/kindle system, they learned early on that root check is possible as a means of DRM control, but ultimately developed workarounds.
As far as the reason for the restrictions go, it's not a far cry to jump from hooking up HDMI to watch on your larger TV screen to hooking up to a projector and performing the movie in front of a crowded theater/auditorium.
Yes, it was possible to do the same thing with physical media in the past, but this is the direction digital DRM is going in. It's a very different story from the move of digital music to being DRM-free - there's no such thing as a standard mobile video player or file format to force publishers to release their grip the way there was for mp3.

Annnnnnnddddd this is the reason I will continue not to buy or rent movies.
When ps3 came out I bought about 10 blu-rays per month.
When Netflix came out I happily bought my subscription.
Well guess what.... haven't bought a blu-ray in probably about a year and a half and haven't had netflix for about 6 months.
Why? Because I feel like they treat us like criminals.
Even TV is ridiculous, few months ago I had thrown back a couple beers. I moved away from my hometown and was feeling football home sick. So I grab the remote and go to the NFL network so I could watch the packers. It says click here to order, so I click. Now it says call the 1800 number... so I sigh and call Verizon, thinking in 5 minutes ill be able to watch the game. After a long argument with the rep I hung up and illegally streamed it from an unnamed website.
Why? Well, to get the NFL network its $50 per year. No sweat I get to watch my team in high definition, good stuff.
Not really....
To get the NFL network I have to not only buy the NFL ticket, I also have to buy some premium package for another $10 per month. I told the rep that I didn't need other package and she said that was the only way to get the game.
So you know what? F?!# Verizon F?!# NFL and F?!# the movie and music industry.
I won't buy into this bulls?!# and I will continue to pirate away and only support my favorite artists.
If they spent half the money they spend on anti piracy on quality of product or ease of access then their profit margins would go way up.
Or.. lower prices and get higher volume, but I prefer higher quality.
Flame on.

Even TV is ridiculous, few months ago I had thrown back a couple beers. I moved away from my hometown and was feeling football home sick. So I grab the remote and go to the NFL network so I could watch the packers. It says click here to order, so I click. Now it says call the 1800 number... so I sigh and call Verizon, thinking in 5 minutes ill be able to watch the game. After a long argument with the rep I hung up and illegally streamed it from an unnamed website.
Why? Well, to get the NFL network its $50 per year. No sweat I get to watch my team in high definition, good stuff.
Not really....
To get the NFL network I have to not only buy the NFL ticket, I also have to buy some premium package for another $10 per month. I told the rep that I didn't need other package and she said that was the only way to get the game.
So you know what? F?!# Verizon F?!# NFL and F?!# the movie and music industry.
I won't buy into this bulls?!# and I will continue to pirate away and only support my favorite artists.
If they spent half the money they spend on anti piracy on quality of product or ease of access then their profit margins would go way up.
Or.. lower prices and get higher volume, but I prefer higher quality.
Flame on.

Not saying it's right, wrong, or otherwise. I was just explaining the reasoning behind the unlikeliness of seeing this particular type of DRM disappear anytime soon. Video will (probably) always get ripped to a DRM-free version, but it won't usually start there as a native format.
Oh no worries. I'm nit arguing with anything anyone here said. I just read over it and instantly got frustrated. Between the experiences I've had and all this sopa crap its getting out of control. Everyone is so paranoid about piracy now a days no one remembers how to make content worth buying.
My wife and I loved the movie hangover, it was hilarious. We rented the hangover 2 the other day and watched about 25 minutes before turning it off. I mean I felt like we were watching the same movie.
Although I did find the new eminem and coldplay album to be pretty awesome. Bought both through google play.
Sorry didn't mean to derail this thread I just feel very strong about the lack of quality content compounded by the ever increasing security and stipulations.
Meanwhile steam is the only content provider that GETS IT.

Is there anywhere to find rentals that will work on HDMI out?
We all know that HDMI works on our tablets but is there anywhere to find movie rentals that our Prime can stream out to an HDMI TV? The family is leaving on a vacation and it would be nice to watch some movies on the TV in the room.
Watching movies is a habit of mine. I like the theme of boxing, war and technology. Just like the Hunger Games it will only be activated to high-quality by a large screen. But the question is, it's impossible for us to go to the cinema everyday. I thought about watching the movies on TV screen. Lately the idea of purchasing a miracast dongle to realize my dream. Some friends suggest me to purchase a Chromecast that with a simple press of a button on my phone, the movie will show on the TV screen. If you set up a web server and sent the URL to content on that server to your Chromecast, it will play it. Now i don't know the price of Chromecast but feel cheap about this, a similar dongle. I wonder if it is relevant to Netflix and support the apps which Google support at the same time. I really don't know which is better and hope the masters could help me. Thank you!!!
Miracast is portable for you with a great functional. High visual you'll get if you use it. Just remote by your smartphone is okay.
