hi guys, I've tried netflix with my apple tv and my ps3 and I'm not overly impressed, there is no queue to add things you like and the software I is not the greatest on either IMO.

it just feels like on these devices you get a limited netflix service.

so was wondering, what device is the best?

many thanks

They are two of the best devices.
To get the best out of Netflix you need to rate stuff, the more you rate the better selections you'll see and also you should select your preferences on the Netflix site.
Also its highly recommended to use the likes of Unblock-US to get access to many more Netflix regions to give you much more choice.
There is no queue system outside of the US.

Like GONZO said, the instant queue is only available on the US Netflix.
That said, in term of device, my favorite device is the AppleTV. The UI is really simple to use, fast and good looking (which is subjective and that's only my opinion).
I've tried the PS3 app, not bad but slow. XBOX 360 app, nice UI but requires a Gold membership, boooo!.

I think the Roku box would be my second favorite device, I never tried one, but from what I've seen, this is a great little device that offers more than the AppleTV in term of streaming services. Also it depends what you want to use, if you're really not interested in other service, then the AppleTV would be my first choice.

If you want an instant queue, like said above, you have to access the US Netflix and Unblock-Us.com is an AWESOME service to do that. You'll be able to access the US, Canadian, Mexican, Brazilian, Swedish (and other nordic) Netflix catalogue for only $4.99/month.

The instant queue will be only available when you're on the US Netflix tho, but the selection is pretty good. I've been using Unblock-Us.com since february 2011 and I love it. That also gives you access to Hulu.com, Pandora and many other websites originally restricted to the US.

Cheers!

I have it on PS3, Xbox and iPad as well as my PC and a couple of Android phones. I have to say I prefer the PS3 out of the lot, though it can be a bit laggy at times. The Xbox app is terrible in comparison, way too overcomplicated compared to the PS3.
