Netflix's Ancient PS3 App Is Going Offline Next Month

Bad news for PlayStation 3 owners hoping to watch Love is Blind on their CRT: Netflix is discontinuing the streaming app from Sony's legacy console a month from now.

A Reddit post from a CRT-enthusiast community shared the announcement seen on the PS3 Netflix app, which reads: "Unfortunately, Netflix will no longer be available on this device after March 2, 2026."

Streaming services phasing out support for older devices shouldn't be a surprise, but what's striking about this shutdown is how long the PS3 Netflix app was functioning. Netflix launched for PS3 in late 2009--but due to an exclusivity deal that the streaming giant had with Xbox, the service was only available through a disc that the company sent in the mail. It took until later in 2010 for Netflix on PS3 to go disc-free with a downloadable app. Netflix had a similar arrangement for the Wii, but that app was discontinued in 2018.
