Netflix is coming to the 3DS in North America tomorrow! It will be a free application that allows Netflix members to have an unlimited streaming plan to watch TV shows and movies in 2D. 3D movies shouldn't be too far behind.

My only concern is what the battery life of the system will be while watching a movie, I imagine in 3D it would be longer than three to four hours when playing a game. It would be kind of a downer to watch 3D movie and then have over 50% of your battery life shot.

Even if it's a free app we still have to suscribe to Netflix right? (pay 8$ or something a month)

Agreed. As it stands there's almost no reason to use the 3DS as a Netflix device unless you have nothing else more capable - and the list of electronic devices that do Netflix better is quite long (there are a lot of iOS and Android phones and multimedia players out there is what I'm saying). But throw 3D in there, and man, I'm on board.

I want games for my 3ds...not movies, that is for my Television.

I just downloaded it. It runs pretty smoothly, though it kind of takes a while to load images of the movies, but the general layout is the same as the site. Loading the episode or movie that you're watching takes slightly longer (at least for me) than it does on a console or my laptop but it's not unbearably long. The video quality is pretty good considering the device it's on. Also, the audio is louder than I thought it would be, much louder than the 3D videos we got from Nintendo from E3.

So basically if you have netflix stock, now is the time to dump it.

You don't have to download it, ever. If you don't want it, don't download it.

I got a couple of questions:

How much does it cost to download a movie, and once downloaded, will it be saved to the system memory?

You don't download it, you stream it. The subscription is 8 dollars a month and it's all you pay.

Works pretty well but I don't think I'll ever use it unless they put some 3D movies up.

I started the month free trail today and I love it. O.o
I'll definitely use Netflix more on my 3DS than on my Wii. It feels so portable now.

I'm currently watching my 3rd movie. :P

WHAT?!? How did you get the free trail to work? I tried to do the free trail and it gave me a code and told me to go to netflix.com/nintendo3ds but all it does is take me to the members log in...what am I doing wrong?

Make an account on the website and when you're done, press Yes when it asks you on the 3DS.
It will give you a code that you're suppose to enter at netflix.com/activate. Netflix should work when it's done activating. :)

When making the account, it will ask you for your credit card number. Netflix is free for one month and if you cancel before the month is over, you won't need to pay.

I'm sitting here for the past five minutes waiting for this to try to retrieve my show. It's been having problems connecting all through the process... I don't think the service likes my machine that much.

While it did take a couple minutes to load up a movie it was working pretty well after, decent quality, and jumping to a different scene didn't take very long.

Disappointing news to report today. It looks like Netflix won't have 3D movies after all. It turns out that the press release was actually talking about Nintendo Video instead.

http://www.joystiq.com/2011/07/14/select-3d-movies-coming-to-3ds-soon/

"The press release announcing the new Netflix service for Nintendo 3DS also references the system's upcoming short-form video service. Nintendo 3DS owners soon will be able to enjoy free, specially selected video content that includes 3D movie trailers, comedy clips and music videos."
