The thing that annoys me is the USA Netflix has Max, but the UK does not.
It really is a nice feature to have and there is just something about it that is cheering.

I personally use Adfreetime for my DNS switching as its only £1.20 per month.
Alongside the PS3 and Netflix, you can easily get an Amazon Fire TV, or a Apple TV. As they have internal DNS switching.
I really would recommend getting a PS3 though due to Max. As it is that good of a feature to have and the PS3 is the only thing that has Max on it.
