Having quietly released a phone-based TV game controller for iOS devices<\/a> last week, Netflix has both made their ambition for streaming subscription gaming official\u2014as well as expanding it to PCs and Macs through the web.<\/p>\n

In a blog post today<\/a>, Mike Verdu, vice president for games at Netflix, states that the streaming content company is rolling out “a limited beta test to a small number of members in Canada and the UK on select TVs starting today, and on PCs and Macs through Netflix.com on supported browsers in the next few weeks.” <\/span><\/p>\n
