Older televisions compatible with Sony's $200 Internet video link module will also be supported, but no PS3 -- yet.

File under Yet Another Netflix Partnership: this time it's Sony bringing your instant queue to high-definition Bravia sets, as well as older TVs compatible with the company's Internet Video Link add-on (if you're willing to shell out about $200 for it). This will reportedly be rolling out in the fall.

What's notably missing in this announcement is the PlayStation 3, an even more obvious target for integration as an existing media hub in the home. Unfortunately for Sony, the Netflix deal with rival Microsoft for integration with the Xbox 360 is an exclusive one, although Netflix isn't saying for how long. Presumably it must run out at some point, opening the door to deals with both Sony and Nintendo for its Wii console.
