PlayStation Around the Web: What We Read

Quick bit of housekeeping before we get to the week’s reading list…

As you may already know, the updated, disc-free Netflix app is due to hit North American PS3s tomorrow. Some of our Canadian readers asked if their application is being updated with the new interface and features (such as 5.1 surround sound). The answer is yes; you’ll be prompted to patch the when you launch the Netflix app after the update goes live. Look for the update to hit before noon Pacific (don’t expect it at 12.01am tonight).

Here’s the other big news from around the web this week:
