One million Xbox 360 users tap Netflix... And I LOVE IT.

$8.99 amonth, granted the selection is not what I'd like it to be, but over 12K titles this point, I think it's headed in the right direction. Lots of movies and TV seasons, you can keep up to 6 files checked out at one time. Also, with Windows Media Player extended to the XBox, you have access to MSNBC, Reuters, NPR and others. The picture is HD which is about like a blue ray without the cost. There's a two week free trial right now.

Good bye, cable.

1. I am impressed by the marketing savy. My guess is that the future of all TV is "on demand". nt

2. it definitely is - hence the tooth-and-nail labor battles in Hollywood right now

...to establish who gets pieces of that future revenue pie...

3. Now all that we'd need would be for Comcast to lift its bandwidth cap.

I'm expecting people will start hitting that 8 gig a day limit if they start to use it a lot.

4. Good point. If this service becomes viable, people will be leaving CC by droves.

That mught get their attention.

5. I wish I was able to see the movie collection before I go ahead and update

my Netflix account.

10. I felt the same way. I figured with the two week free trial that if it really sucked

I could back out easily. I forgot to mention that with the $8.99 deal you can keep on hard copy of something not available for instant download. I ordered W.

6. And since the CEO of Netflix is one of the VERY few rich guys who thinks

he should pay MORE tax, I couldn't be happier for his success!

8. Wow. I feel even better about it now.

I don't know if I would stop at fifty percent on some of the more excessive compensation packages though.

7. Yes, I use Netflix with XBox 360 and

I love it.

I'm looking forward to the day when ALL titles will be available for instant viewing. It's coming.

9. Wait, how are you getting MSNBC?

I have Netflix (although I don't have a 360) and I have WMP. Is there some way I can get it streaming now?

[Shardik]

11. Through the Windows Media Center.

On edit, it's outtakes, mainly with goodies from Keith & Racheal.

[Seen the light]

12. How?

I have WMP open right now. How do I get to it?

[Shardik]

13. I'm sorry, I misspoke. It's Media Center, not player.
