Everyone seems to be ignoring the very real fact that the Netflix service was already able to stream through Vista's/XP's media center and the 360 if you were savvy enough to take 20 minutes reading how to do so online. Furthermore with just a little more effort you could stream through your original x-box.
I have a netflix account and stream right on my TV because I hooked my desktop to my Television. This costs me absolutely nothing.
This is just a way for M$ to con people into the Gold membership for something that is free anyways.
EDIT: This really emphasises how lazy (read: stupid) Americans are if something free and already available gets touted as the "next big thing",
