Netflix to do VOD
Via TVPredictions.com, NetFlix is partnering with LG to add NetFlix downloadable movie functionality on LG’s combo HD-DVD / Blu-Ray device. While the device is expensive ($999), I’d assume we’ll be seeing lots of announcements about this service in similiar products including game consoles, as has been rumored for some time now. It’s a good move for NetFlix, but with a lot of competitors entering this space, it’s going to be all about the partnerships with content holders to get good downloadable content and device manufacturers like TiVo, XBox, and PS3 which are already in the living room and have internet access.
