Netflix Hopes to Offer Services Via 360, PS3

Gamasutra is reporting on comments made by Netflix in a recent financials conference call. Netflix CEO Reed Hastings stated that the company is looking to offer movie service via next gen consoles at some point. "[Said Hastings,] 'In terms of enabling the viewing of online content on the television screen, we are exploring a variety of options, including Internet connected, high definition DVD players, internet connected game consoles, and dedicated internet set tops, with a variety of partners, trying to understand the best ways to provide inexpensive viewing of online content on the television.' .. It is unclear, however, whether either Sony or Microsoft would allow such a service to become available on their consoles, as both Sony prepares and Microsoft already offers their own internet-connected video-on-demand services over their respective networks."

    You mean to tell me... I could watch movies... ON MY TV!

    Why didn't somebody think of this before? It could spawn a whole new industry!

    Milla Jovovich I can see. But Ms. Jolie has not aged well. See any non-touched up no-make up pictures of her and you wonder if thats still human. That's not age, my friend, that's bad plastic surgery.

    With her current rate of surgical progression, she will look like this in ten years.
