Netflix Coming to Xbox 360 - Announcement Today?
Just last week, we reported that Netflix movies may be coming to the Xbox 360 when a poll from Netflix asked whether subscribers would be interested in streaming movies directly to their video game consoles. The answer Netflix's question was, predictably, "Yes!" That rumor has evolved and gained steam, and CrunchGear reports that Microsoft could announce the partnership as early as today at the opening of this week's Game Developers Conference (GDC).The GDC is an annual gathering of video game developers and publishers, during which members of the industry talk about trends in game development. Originally it was a fairly low-key, business-focused affair, but recently the GDC has taken on a more glitzy, media-friendly tone. Could Microsoft take the opportunity to steal the show with an announcement of this Netflix partnership? We think there's a strong chance, especially if Reed Hastings, the Netflix founder who is now a member of the board at Microsoft, has anything to say about it.
The question is, if the rumor proves to be true, will Netflix support the PlayStation 3, too, especially after Microsoft soaks up the limelight on this announcement?
