Xbox Makes a Pact With Netflix
Give your Xbox a big hug! Microsoft announced at the E3 video game conference being held this week that Xbox and Netflix are making an awesome new deal that will give Xbox 360 users the chance to play movies on demand through their consoles.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, under the agreement, Netflix's Watch Instantly streaming-movie service will be playable on televisions connected to the console without any additional software or hardware.
This service will be free to Xbox Live Gold members who are also Netflix subscribers. The deal could boost Microsoft's efforts to turn the Xbox 360 into a digital entertainment hub, and it potentially gives Netflix access to more than 12 million Xbox Live subscribers.
