Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Netflix to Offer Xbox 360 Movie Downloads?

Goddbless on 29 March 2008

Original Article

It seems Netflix is looking into teaming up with Microsoft to offer movie rentals through XBLM. I think this would help Microsoft in realize their goal of making Digital Distribution the future of movie viewing. Does anyone have any stats on Netflix subscriptions?

It seems like it would get a few more HW sales for the 360 if the prices are reasonable.

Is Netflix available there? I would think this would be available wherever Netflix is available. That could also help the 360 in areas the Video Marketplace is not yet available but Netflix is.

This needs to happen ASAP.



We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai

It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps

We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick
