This comes from entertainment website Digital Spy which reports that the US company is planning to expand its operations globally, and is heading to the UK. But with a difference. The whole thing will be digital. No more pouches, no more deliveries. A total online streaming service from start to finish, which begs the question, would we see it on the Xbox 360? After all, our US friends have had that service for quite some time, and even though we have the Zune Marketplace, Netflix would be a valuable addition to the system.
Netflix was previously here in the early part of the last decade, but failed to take off. The CEO of Netflix Reed Hastings said of this - "The big difference is we were entering with DVDs only [then]. It's streaming only [now]. That's a big difference - no warehouses, no integration with the Royal Mail."
Even though the Xbox 360 wasn't mentioned in this, seeing as this re-launched service would be a streaming only affair, apart from your PC what other machine would be capable of providing the front end for this service? Well, its not Microwave that's for sure.
We'll keep an eye on this over the coming months.
