It does; we stream from Netflix to our PS3, resolution isn't bad often 
times (depends on the congestion on the network).  The other day I 
watched Chaplin because I'd never seen it - a few places the picture 
quality dropped out, but it was definitely watchable.  They only do 
stereo sound, though, which was annoying (what with a 7.1 system in the 
room).
