When Neflix and Microsoft first announced that Netflix video streaming was coming to the Xbox 360, we knew people would sign up for the service in droves. It looks like that is exactly what has happend, as both companies have announced that over 1 Million Xbox Live gold members have downloaded the Neflix application onto their Xbox 360 console.
What we are waiting to see is if Neflix will launch a “Streaming Only” Netflix subscription option, for say $5.99 a month? Would you sign up for that price? Or would you sign up for the 1 Blu-ray at a time plan instead?
Engadget HD has the press release

“Or would you sign up for the 1 Blu-ray at a time plan instead?”……nice crack at Blu-ray! I’d take the one blu ray at a time plan myself because P/Q means a lot to me and streaming P/Q is garbage. Microcrap and netflix can go suck it
@Jared – You still get the streaming for free with the $10 a month 1 Blu-ray at a time plan.
thats the plan I have and its awesome. I have been able to watch full seasons of shows that are in high def on netflix but not on blu ray at the moment. Its been great, plus the 1 blu ray at a time has kept me up on the movies I dont want to purchase
