Netflix, Inc.  today announced the availability of “Just for Kids” on the PlayStation 3 (PS3) game console, further expanding the availability of the section popular with kids and caregivers.

Netflix “Just for Kids” makes it easier and more fun for kids and families to browse and instantly watch a large selection of kid-friendly TV shows and movies. Since introducing the section in August 2011, Netflix members have watched more than one billion hours of kids titles.

Now Netflix members who use a PS3 can select “Just for Kids” to enter an experience designed for children 12 and under. Kids can click and instantly watch their favorite characters, including “Kick Buttowski,” “Bob The Builder,” “Thomas the Tank Engine,” “Backyardigans,” “Caillou,” “Curious George,” “Power Rangers” and “Arthur.”
