Since the new launch of Xbox live, I am sold on the idea of not having to deal with the whole format war issues. My friend Pete made a comment when I wrote a post about Blu-Ray players. He actually uses his Apple TV and Netflix. He doesn’t have Cable or Satellite TV. At first, I thought I would not be able to handle that. I like my shows too much!
However, since the merge of Xbox Live and Netflix, I am starting to come around to that idea. Today, I added Ratattoullie to my Instant Watch queue on Netflix and my daughter and I sat back and enjoyed! Netflix now offers over 1500 movies for instant viewing and they will continue to get more. I am actually going to scale back how many movies I receive from Netflix (I get four), because a lot of the movies are instant viewing now.
All you have to do is to log on to your profile (Gold account is needed for this option), log onto the Netflix screen and it will give you a code. Then on your PC or MAC, login to Netflix and add the code. You are now free to roam about the queue!
So, I believe that with Apple TV and Xbox/Netlfix, the Blu-Ray format will eventually cease to extist. Let me know what you think!
