I got the impression that Netflix was looking to expand on many devices, according to statements they made earlier in the year.

It's been long rumored their service will appear on game consoles, such as the Xbox 360 and PS3.

Gears is published by Microsoft. It might come under their presentation.

So the numbers are out....

Yikes, I was just looking at the company financials for Sony. As a whole, they posted a 4.7 billion dollar loss between January and March this year.

Sony sold something like 100 million+ PS2s, so I'm not surprised the PS3 would sell a good number of units on momentum alone. It's just a matter of enticing that existing base. The only thing holding back the masses has been pricing. There's no doubt in my mind that if the PS3 were cheaper, it would have totally dominated out of the gate.

TVs are one of those things that if it's not broke, why replace it? Most people have TVs at least 10 years, and it's not uncommon to go far longer.

It's like a car. Just because a new model is introduced every year, doesn't mean you have to buy one.

We also know that Netflix's founder and CEO joined Microsoft's board last year.

I noticed on the commercials for I Am Legend, they clearly show the HD DVD box along with DVD and Blu-Ray versions, however the voice over makes no mention of HD DVD. I wasn't sure if it was coming out on HD DVD or not.

That's interesting that DVD isn't done here, yet it's mentioned in the article when it comes to discussing how well HD DVD did vs Blu-Ray.

I say not yet, because of the various profiles. Who wants to buy a profile 1.1 player only to later learn than cannot use profile 2.0 features?

And also because the pricing is not there yet. Stand alone players should be around $150-200.

I wouldn't consider the PS3, becuase the remote is bluetooth instead of IR, meaning I can't use by existing universal remote.
