Netflix hosted on Xbox Live?
Elder Scrolls Altmer Hater \| 2:17 PM on 02.19.2008	3 comments

Okay as many of you may know Netflix and Microsoft have been courting awhile over the possibility of Netflix being a service on Xbox Live. And since I have both Netflix and Xbox Live the idea of watching my downloaded movies on my Xbox as well as my computer is very nice. Although none of the higher echelon of either companies are talking, it's rumored that they might announce something tomorrow at the Game Developers Conference in San Fransisco. Now for my own entertainment purposes I hope that Reed Hastings (CEO of Netflix) and Bill Gates get into bed together. At least while they release crap on XBLA I can still watch "Raging Bull" without having to spend any precious gamer points.

A partnership would explode the selection of movies up on the Marketplace, I assume.

Maybe faster methods of distributing movies instead of downloading them.

This is really the on-demand sort of thing the cable and telephone companies have been talking about giving us for years. When I heard that there was a possibility of a Netflix disc that I could pop into my 360 and stream movies to it like I can with my computer, I nearly shat my pants. It is exactly what I've been waiting for.

Plus, my woman can finally watch all those National Geographic specials she's so keen that I rent for her.

Very cool idea as long as they don't charge extra on top of your Netflix subscription.
