Pachter: Xbox 360 Will Add 400,000 New Netflix Subscribers By Q1 2009

The Netflix integration, to me, has been one of the most important features of the New Xbox Experience. Once the partnership was announced, I instantly grabbed a Netflix account in anticipation of being able to stream their content on my HDTV. But how important has the partnership been for Netflix? Huge, according to Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter.

That will be a very profitable partnership for netflix. I wonder if there will be a price change.

Too bad Blockbuster doesn't have that... we are Blockbuster Total Access members... not Netflix

If blockbuster would have been thinking, they would have approached Microsoft and struck a deal for streaming video for the Xbox.

Yeah, I wish they will.

Blockbuster is awesome otherwise, I can get HD-DVD and Blu-Rays without paying extras. And I can exchange DVDs for Blu-Rays in the store as many times as I want, etc. (Though now, for new subscribers, you don't get the E-coupons for free game rentals, and you have to pay extra to get unlimited in-store rentals... we pay the middle price and get that plan)
