It just happened?

 

I don't know but I can't wait! That's assuming that they WILL release a 3D Netflix movie app. As for when, I just hope soon.

 

Not likely anytime soon, according to Joystiq - Just some US form of the "Nintendo Video" app. I can't see Netflix adding 3D content anytime soon, since they would have to pay it for separately, and Nintendo isn't going to pay for it. Not much incentive for Netflix.

 

Netflix is out on the 3DS, but doesn't have 3D support atm. It will at some point for select movies, but not right now.

I didn't think 3D will raise the price. (that just me)

Nintendo it pushing them for 3D, so it shouldn't be long... hopefully.

 

Just a small note here, the Netflix app is already in 3D. The Netflix logo when you start it up as well as all the menu screens are in 3D. So technically it does have 3D support, just no content to support yet. My guesstimate though is by the end of the year. I can see them putting it out either near the end of the summer or mid Autumn, then pushing it for the Holiday season in an effort to push sales of 3D equipment for Christmas. "Sure, the 3D equipment may not be cheap, but we can help you even out the costs for those and movies by offering you instant streaming of your favorite 3D movies for only $(money here) a month!"

It would be nice if 3DS owners got an exclusive early access to 3D streamed content though... either way I'm calling by Christmas.

 

i don't care much about Netflix, as i have little to no chance of getting their current service normally. i just want them to push their so called hollywood partners to start releasing 3D movies in 3DS game carts. this way, there'd be no issues with internet speed, as the game cart will provide enough speed as it is, and there's no limitation on how often or when or how you wanna watch it.

price-wise, it should NEVER go any higher than normal 3DS carts though.

if this happens, i expect the first few movies to support 3D will be the ones appearing. so probably 3D CGI movies.

 

who knows, when will netflix release 3D for the majority of regular subscriber's without a 3DS? Likely not anytime soon.

edit: and unless your willing to pay more, they just raised the price for their DVD + streaming combo pack, I'm sure 3D would also come at a premium

 

That isn't anything to go by. All that was is Nintendo saying when they were talking about the 3D video content coming with this update they were talking about the Nintendo Video app and not Netflix like everyone was assuming. But that in no way stated or even hinted that there were no plans to have 3D content in the Netflix app, just that 3D content wouldn't be there right now. And again I say what make an app with 3D elements in the menus and not plan on adding 3D content later. There are quite a few 3D movies, almost every action or animated movie that has come to in the last few years has had a 3D version in theaters, and as tame has progressed more and more of them are also releasing to Bluray with 3D capable versions too. Also Pixar took the time to remaster the first two Toy Story movies in 3D to build up to Toy Story 3's theatrical release, and Disney is remastering Lion Kink in 3D for a theatrical re-release too, so there is not only quite a bit of interest in making new 3D movies, but also taking classics to the 3rd dimension as well. Pretty soon there will be plenty of worth while 3D enhanced movies to make a 3D update worth it, and I'm sure Netflix is already working with someone on a Netflix streaming capable 3D enabled Bluray player/TV while they work out exactly what they need to do to get 3D streamed content ready to go.
