    Welcome to the Rkaydz Collection!🎮 Support Boss Level GivingEvery view helps us give back. Visit rkaydz.com/donate to join our mission of making gaming more accessible for everyone — because history should be preserved, and joy should be shared.Today, we induct a forgotten fragment of the streaming revolution: the Netflix Streaming Disc for PlayStation 3 — a physical disc that unlocked on-demand movies before apps ruled the world.In 2009, as President Barack Obama took office and Avatar dazzled theaters, PlayStation 3 owners were mailing in for this peculiar Blu-ray workaround. Why? Because Netflix hadn’t yet built a native app — and this disc was the key to early streaming magic.From Minecraft’s indie beginnings to the launch of Modern Family, take a reverent (and slightly cheeky) look back at the dawn of digital entertainment as we add this oddity to the Rkaydz Museum.📽️ More Information:How Netflix Got Pulled into Xbox’s Console War | Past Mortem | SSFF#Netflix #StreamingDisc #PS3History #Rkaydz #DigitalPreservation #VideoGameMuseum💬 Comment below: Did you ever use one of these discs?
