That is what the post says, and if this is true and the disc works on american consoles too this is really awesome. He says a modded console is needed though. Since we have a bunch of new Brazilian members, was wondering if any of you guys know much about this?Late last night, while poking through a rather... unsavory place on the internet, let's just say... I came across a discovery: a Netflix instant streaming disc for the PS2. Yet instead of being the handiwork of hackers and the like, turns out, it's a very real thing.
Similar to the ones that were produced for the Wii and PS3 a few years back, the PS2 variant was created exclusively for the Brazilian market. Someone in America was able to get their hands on the super rare disc, who then ripped it and put it online.
For those interested, you'll have to track it down yourself, and a modded console is also necessary. But those with both have reported an experience that's remarkably like the PS3's, except nothing's in HD. Which shouldn't be a shocker.
It also apparently acknowledges your Netflix account with zero fuss or muss, and the menus are even in English. Most surprising of all is how it works on NTSC consoles (strange considering that Brazil mostly supports PAL).

Re: Netflix Instant Streaming Disc for Brazil?
Hello All
-I can confirm the ISO is already patched with ESR and works on the PS2, but I don't have an account with Netflix-so that I can not confirm--
Thanks for posting (BTW, the ISO is NOT hard to find)

Re: Netflix Instant Streaming Disc for Brazil?

Unless you have netflic service then there is no point in using this. I don't have an HDD for my fat yet so idk anybody else has a modded ps2 with hdd and netflix subscription lol. The video loading wouldn't change, thats just the ps2's slow ethernet adapter.

Re: Netflix Instant Streaming Disc for Brazil?
Two nights ago, I successfully installed it onto my IDE HDD inside of my fat PS2. So far, it's been working very well! I didn't even need to activate any special modes, (like the one that kills HDloader after launch.)Mytho wrote:I'd be interested to hear how this performs installed on a HD.

Well this might be gone now. Apparently it was deactivated very recently:

Can confirm. Apparently this is also why I hate digital distrubition, because at any time a company can cut you off. Look at Steam for 9x and 2k.
Let's just hope this doesn't lead to more shutdowns.....D:

Re: Netflix Instant Streaming Disc for Brazil?
I wonder if it could still work if you redirect the server dns's to something else. Although I happened to have the chance to try it out really, if you can use almost anything else to play netflix lol.
