There have been a lot of rumors recently about a possible collaboration between Netflix and Microsoft. Specifically, the rumors hint at the introduction of a service that would allow Netflix customers to download movies from Netflix to their televisions through their Xbox 360 “Xbox Live” connection. The speculation has largely been fueled by a survey that was supposedly sent out by Netflix to some of its customers asking “If as part of your Netflix membership you could instantly watch movies and TV episodes on your TV with your Xbox 360, how likely would you/anyone in your household be to do that?” For the record, no official announcement has been made by Microsoft or Netflix as of this writing. Also, though I am a loyal Netflix customer myself, I was never personally contacted by Netflix with this survey question. However, screenshots of the survey abound on the web, so speculation is running wild. Time will tell how this all plays out, but in the meantime it might be fun to speculate how this type of thinking might affect the average media consumer. How would this play into Microsoft and Netflix’s overall strategies? Would this be a good thing for the consumer?...
