From the 'It Is About Time' Department - NetFlix and XBOX Live Team Up

7/14/2008 12:30:45 PM

What has been a rumor forever has finally come to fruition - subscribers to both NetFlix and XBox Live Gold can stream movies to their XBOX 360 - intro details and caveats here.  This is something I have been waiting for for a very long time.  I was doing the Blockbuster Online DVD thing by mail for a while because I liked the option of going to the Blockbuster on the corner and swapping movies.  The challenge recently, however, has been that I've been so busy with family and work things the past few months I was never watching what came by mail and just rolled over to swap DVDs for something more recent when I had time to watch a movie.  I've thought the idea of getting movies via XBox would be great - but then again, I don't do much pay-per-view either so maybe not.  Regardless, this is a cool announcement and a nice first step.  Hopefully, it won't be long before the entire NetFlix catalog is available.  When it is, maybe that will be the time to watch all of the Babylon 5 episodes again! ;-)
