Are Netflix Rentals Headed to Xbox 360?

It sounds like Netflix is halfway open to the idea:

Online movie rental company Netflix Inc has surveyed its subscribers to gauge their interest in streaming movies to their televisions using Microsoft Corp’s Xbox 360, a Netflix spokesman said on Monday.

Netflix spokesman Steve Swasey declined to say whether the survey indicated a soon-to-be announced partnership between the two companies, but said Netflix was interested in getting its movies to consumers’ TVs “in as many ways as possible.”

As a current Netflix subscriber and proud Xbox 360 owner (one of the few MS products that I ride for), this would certainly be a match made in heaven! Unfortunately, I wasn’t surveyed (what’s up with that?), but I’m hoping that those who were did their part to move Netflix in the right direction with this. We’ll find out soon enough, I’m sure.
