Netflix Playback Error UI-800-3 on Playstation 3
The error UI-800-3 in the Netflix application on your PlayStation is caused by a need to agree to Sony's Terms of Service, typically encountered after a PlayStation system update. To resolve the error, you will need to sign into PlayStation Network and accept Sony's Terms of Service by following the steps below.
Manually Sign In To PlayStation Network

- The PSN sign-in prompt is a black screen with white writing and will ask for your Sign-In ID (Email Address) and gives you the option to "Sign In Automatically (Auto Sign-In)." Checking this box will usually eliminate the need to sign in to PlayStation Network each time you launch Netflix.
