I was able to get this for $19.99 the last time it was on sale. It works GREAT with my PS3. I got it mainly for its Netflix streaming capability.

Have been waiting for it.
Just got a Mvix Ultio and it works with it beautifully.
Have been using the demo version so far

This is great software. I've been using it for Hulu & Netflix streaming for a few months now.

It will in fact work with the PS3 Slim. I should warn everyone that I have been using this since it first came out and there are quite a few problems with it due to the fact that Netflix and Hulu occasionally make it so PlayOn cannot connect. When this happens you will not be able to use the software to stream that content. The PlayOn guys are generally fast about fixing it, but there have been some extended outages, and lately I have quite a few problems with the software in general. I should also note that I am a professional software engineer so the issues are not due to my incompetence. I would still buy the software, but be prepared to deal with long outages every so often.

The people at PlayOn have also talked about charging you for a new upgrade in 2010.

Playon has plugins that let you do more stuff.

I have also been using this program & it works really well. Besides allowing streaming from Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, Local Video Files & Amazon (I think), like handyguy mentioned, there are other plugins you can get for the app also. That site is http://www.playonplugins.com

I've used Playon on my modded xbox for about 2 months and have already seen it on sale 3 or 4 times - usally $10 off, but once $20 off.

I agree with the above statements regarding periodic outages.. it's great when it works(which is most of the time). I didn't like what I heard about charging for upgrades next year - I wouldn't mind paying a small fee to keep it up to date, but will feel ripped off if I have to re-purchase at full price.

Why not just use PS3media server, ORB or TVersity?

PlayOn streams Netflix & other stuff those do not. However it doesn't do subtitles, but Tversity does. I run them both at the same time.

Funny, but PlayOn has some porno stream plugins. I checked them once & there is a virtual unlimited number of films you can watch.

Quick question..

Will this allow the playing of MKVs on Xbox 360?

With the number of "special deals" they've been running on PlayOn, the de facto price pretty much is already $29.99. Seems like they've sent me a lot of e-mails telling me that it's my "last chance" to get it at the lower price.

Personally, if you can get our hands on an orig xbox & mod it - throw a 500gb HDD in there, it's a pefect media center.

I have 2 of these.. I can store tons of content locally on the 500Gb HDD, able to stream video/music from other machines on my network + with Playon, now I can get Hulu & a bunch more online content.

You can pick up a used Xbox for <=$50, $25-50 to mod it (or do it yourself) + cost of (IDE) HDD.

I also have a Wii, but haven't tried it with Playon, yet.
