What's New With Netflix

First off, I should mention that netflix is one of the greatest ideas.  I've had netflix for a couple years now and I don't think there has been a single month where I have not gotten my moneys worth.  If you do the math, the 3 DVD a month plan pays off even if you only watch a movie a week.  4 weeks x 5 bucks a rental = $20 and the monthly plan is roughly 18 dollars.  And if you watch 3 dvds a week then the savings can go up tremendously.  Anyhow, onto netflix news:

Netflix API

Netflix has released an API.  This is something they should have done a long time ago and will no doubt lead to many great applications.  I have already seen an iPhone app for netflix.  I haven't downloaded this yet, but I plan on doing it soon.  More on their API can be found on their blog.

Streaming Via XBox 360

Netflx has announced that streaming watch now over the XBox 360 will be available this fall.  Next we need netflix streaming over the Wii and Playstation 3.
