Want to take a break from Tekken 6? Thanks to a new deal between Sony and Netflix, you can kick back and watch free movies and TV shows on your PlayStation 3.

The news was posted Sunday on the the PS3 blog. By next month U.S. Netflix members who own a PS3 will be able to stream thousands of TV episodes and movies on the PlayStation instantly from Netflix, Blu-ray/DVD Playback, and can download videos via the PlayStation network.

To access the service, Netflix subscribers need a free instant streaming Blu-ray disc that activates Netflix's user interface on the PS3 system, which must be online via Wi-Fi or Ethernet.

With the PS3 system's Wireless Controller, Netflix subscribers can pick a movie to watch from their instant queues or play them directly from any of the lists. The service also includes synopses and movie ratings and in addition, users can fast-forward and rewind video stream via the wireless controller.

Users can organize movie and TV shows based on personal preferences, genres, new titles and individual instant queues. Subscribers can also use the Netflix Web site or navigate directly on their PS3 systems to add movies and TV shows to their queues.

Users should be advised that they'll have to ask for the disc. It can be reserved the ahead of the release via the Netflix Web site. Once the service is officially launched, subscribers need to request the disc and will get it delivered free of charge via snail mail.
