Microsoft Xbox 360 to get HD content from Netflix
Microsoft and Netflix are expanding their collaboration to let the users of Xbox 360 gaming console download high definition movies online.
The two companies confirmed that the service would be available to users who are subscribed to both Xbox Live and Netflix.
The service currently has around 300 movies in HD format available at the moment.
It would be applicable starting next month and customers would not be required to pay anything extra for this functionality.
Users would be required to have a slightly more expensive Netflix account. The base pack costing USD 5 a month won’t do.
Joshua Martin, a Yankee Group analyst spoke about this new development: “Netflix has been on a roll. They realize that partnerships are integral in the connected world we live in today. The HD thing is really interesting. I can see a business model emerging in the long term where they charge for the streaming. It makes sense. It’s a great value add.”
