PlayStation 3 users watch a lot of Netflix. Last year, the company announced Sony's console received more living room-based Netflix than any other device. So, it stands to reason Netflix would roll out its latest concept to PlayStation 3 first. Max, as he's called, is little bit game show host and a whole lot of program guide.
The video released by Netflix on Friday afternoon shows a system closely resembling the lighthearted, graphics-heavy tone of You Don't Know Jack. After starting Max up, the faceless voice will offer a number of ways to personalize your Netflix viewing experience and find something great to watch. For example, Max may ask you to pick between two genres--based on your viewing preferences--or offer up a surprise, mystery selection he thinks you might like.
All in all, the system looks like a fun way to interact with Netflix, as opposed to just shuffling though a queue. The service is available on PS3 starting today, but only in the US.
