I just filled out a survey that asked the following questions:
“If as part of your Netflix membership you could instantly watch movies and TV episodes on your TV with your PS/3 or XBOX 360, how likely would you/anyone in your household be to do that?”
We all knew this was coming, but 2008 exciting! The survey continues with specific details for PS3:
“Now you can watch movies from Netflix instantly by using your Internet-connected Playstation 3. Simply insert a special Netflix disc into your PS/3 to enable instant movie streaming. The disc is available from Netflix for a one-time fee of $3.”
and Xbox 360:
“Now you can watch movies from Netflix instantly by using your existing Xbox LIVE account. You can choose from over 7,000 movies and TV series, and your choice starts playing on your TELEVISION in as little as 30 seconds. ”
Additionally there are no additional fees as this says:
“Watching is included in your Netflix plan. There are no extra fees and there are no limits on how much you can watch. ”
This is exciting news indeed and im DEFINATELY IN! No more hooking up my laptop to watch Netflix movies!
*UPDATE*
Those people doubting this is legimate here a screenshot of the PS3 portion of the survey(I have removed the actual link for I am unsure if Netflix want’s random people filling out the survey) other people have also confirmed receiving this email:

This sounds almost too good to be true, but Reed Hastings is on the Microsoft board. It seems strange that Microsoft would open up the Xbox to competitors — you can already download HD movies. However, they have a history of opening up platforms to developers (and it might help them sell a few more Xbox’s).

[...] a recent Netflix survey is a harbinger of things to come (or more accurately, a blog post about a recent Netflix survey is to be believed), Xbox 360 owners may be able to download TV shows [...]

I’d love to be able to stream to my 360. That’s a total killer feature for me. Can’t wait!

Was the survey within an email or do you have a link to it?
February 12th, 2008 at 8:34 pm
I have the link in my email, but im not sure if Netflix want’s this survey given out, so I prefer to keep it private.

I went to Netflix/Contact Us/Suggestions and sent them a note.

I looked all over Netflix as a Netflix customer and that survey or any other survey is nowhere to be found. Even with the link that’s in the picture.

It’s onlt the same crappy 7000 choices you have instantly online. What’s the point? I need all movies available or none
February 16th, 2008 at 10:09 pm
yeah they need to open up the rest of their library for streaming. ive used their internet streaming and just plug a laptop in to the tv. not having to keep plugging in that cord might make me resuscribe. the quality of their streams also needs to be taken up a notch or three.

Do you realize that netflix can’t put all there movies up for streaming because of the movie production people, they try to resell there rights as many times as they can. That is why netflix can’t stream all of them. You should be complaining to warner brothers and fox and so forth because there the ones not letting them.
