Engadget 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.
