I'm not sure what you're arguing here at this point. Xbox is saying no to Blu-Ray because it's a service they don't want, while saying the Netflix helps them more. What, pray tell, does adding Blu-Ray to the 360 get them at this point? Whereas as you've seen on this very board, the Netflix deal is attracting people to XBox. And downloadable on demand only has the chance to get better.

  - For me Neflix DVDs are for new releases, watch now through Xbox is for older stuff and TV shows. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Mar 1, 15:43 1
    - If they would start having everything available as a download on the release date, *I'd* buy a 360 tomorrow. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 1, 15:46
- I haven't sampled Netflix On Demand, because of the region-specificity, but I have sampled XBox Live Video Rentals ... that, at least, is a huge - Beryllium Mar 1, 14:32 1
  - i agree there, blockbuster is toast for many reasons -- nm - Stewie Mar 1, 14:43
