CES 2012 – Sony announced that the PlayStation Vita will recieve a Netflix app of its own. While one can watch the streaming service on their TV, Blu-Ray players, tablets, and PC’s, it’ll be great to be able to stream movies over the Vita’s 3G and Wi-Fi.

Since its release on the PS3, the Netflix app has become one of the most popular (and most used) program on the game console. For those who don’t know what Netflix is, it’s a movie streaming service with a monthly flat rate. This means that subscribers can choose to watch anything from the thousands of movies, tv shows, and documentaries available on the service.

And since the PlayStation Vita has a high definition OLED screen, it stands to reason that video quality will be much better on it as compared to Android phones and other pocket media players.

According to Sony, the Vita Netflix app is not yet completed but will be available to Vita owners shortly after release.
