Thought this was pretty cool and decided to share. I've got a Netflix account and I've been playing around with it on my Vista box for a couple of weeks now. It allows you to organize your Que via the remote as well as search and play "Watch Now" movies as well. Wish it would work with XP as I've got one hooked up to my TV in my living room. Wasn't planning on buying another Vista machine but this might make it worth while to upgrade if I don't find a similar XP solution.

Hey Jose,

The Mac version of this will be out this summer. I'm hoping they're will be a way I can stream it to the PS3 (and thus the HDTV) Or better yet, maybe Netflix should just let me download to the PS3. :D

I read that somewhere recently as well. There was also an article on MSNBC today about there possibly be something in the works to do this with the XBox as well. No PS3 for me but I'll welcome a way to do it on a Mac without having to go into Parallels.
