Rumor: Netflix on the 360?

NetFlix MailersEngadget seems to think so. Or, at least, has found a blog post from someone that says that it’s coming and are hoping with all their might that it will. According to the post, a recent Netflix survey asked how likely you would be to watch content on the 360 (and PS3, for that matter). From there, the survey goes on to say that media will be playable via use of a special ‘decoder disc’ that will cost $3.

I recently signed up for Netflix (Yeah, I know, I know… 1998 called and chastised me for being late to the party) and as part of my new user survey did get questions about how likely I would be to watch content on a current-gen console, but I never got anything saying that there would be a decoder disk. Keep your fingers crossed regardless, but considering the source that Engadget used (“some blog”) don’t be shocked if this one doesn’t happen.

    That would be awsome to have that I guess but I’m not going to throw myself all over it just yet anyways.

    I have a hard time believing Microsoft would let this happen, since they already offer video downloads on Marketplace. I guess if they got a cut from Netflix, it might be possible…

    This might convince me to try netflix out. Convincing the wife on the other hand, is another story.

    I did hear that Netflix has decided to go with Blu-ray instead of HD-DVD. I wonder if that means there will be no movies to get in HD on the 360 from Netflix?
