Rumor: Netflix set to bring rental service to the 360

Internet rental giant to come to the 360?

By Dustin Burg

Our current Video Marketplace setup is decent enough allowing Xbox 360 owners to rent movies or purchase television shows a la carte. But think how much better the XBVM service could be if an already popular unlimited movie rental service like, say , were to be incorporated? Well, that may just happen.

According to Seanbajuice, a random Netflix survey (which was sent out to a select few Netflix subscribers) asks specific questions regarding how likely it would be for one to support Netflix being integrated into the Xbox 360. The survey points out that no additional subscription fees would be required (though, a one time $3 disc purchase may be necessary) and would give unlimited viewing access to Netflix's entire movie and television library streamed straight through your 360. The survey is just a survey, so this is far from being official, but how could anyone be against such a partnership? Heck, if this Netflix / Xbox 360 service ends up becoming a reality, we'd suddenly let go of any negative sentiment we felt towards Netflix for abandoning HD DVD. Our hearts heal fast.

Awesome! Hope it does become real, and happens. My mum has like a huge subscription with them, so that makes everything better.

This would be fantastic, and give the 360 yet another edge over its rivals, not that I'm a fanboy or anything

This would be good for Microsoft if they reach a deal with netflix.

I hope UK does get this, it was bad enough waiting for the video marketplace >: (

Not sure if microsoft would agree to a deal w/ them though. MS makes a killing from selling movies over XBLM.
