last i checked netflix didn't have 10000 movies available for downloading, like was stated by MS at E3. Like i said this is a better feature for 360 than it is for netflix. Albeit netflix won't have to sell these people 99$ players, but Ms has stated already that the renting will go through MS, and netflix will only be a side option. Which again makes me wonder whose servers they are using if these 10000 movies on netflix are supposed to be an "OPTION" BTW: I don't mean to sound rude, but if you are going to provide a response to a post, respond to the whole thing, not just a small part of it.

A. It's not download. it's streaming.
B.From the article i quoted.
"It's fanless and quiet; has HDMI and optical outputs; and is about the size of five CD cases stacked together. Any Netflix disc mailing plan over $9 gets you unlimited streaming of almost 10,000 titles. Unlimited! 10K titles!"
What else is there to mention?
Why would this sell consoles? Why would someone buy a 360 to pay for gold membership and a netflix membership? When they could just pay a straight $99?
Isn't it more likely this is going to get more current gold members to pay for Netflix? All this is doing for microsoft is making sure people with Gold members keep up with their service.
I mean sure. it might help 360 a bit... it's going to help Netflix WAY more as suddenly their service will be in WAY more homes.
Netflix is pulling a PS3 here. To gain marketshare over Apple TV and Vhudu in large ways.
Netflix is doing this to win their format war.
There are rumors of a Sony deal too... likely though Sony wanted a cut from Netflix directly since PS3 online is free... and why comproise their own download and blu-ray services to let Net-Flix set up shop for free?
