NetFlix Post 600,000 additions, Lot's of options for recession planning families.

Unlike the auto sector that is recording record losses in the last couple of quarters, the recession is a boon for some, as we have seen with NETFLIXs recent numbers just released. Netflix has added some 600,000 subscribers since January. Now as most families have started to divert their entertainment budgets for going out, to staying hunkered on the family couch. Digital downloads will be on the rise as well, as numbers from the XBOX360 (oh yah that’s NetFlix) Sony Playstation and Apple-TV / iTunes as well as Amazon start to post out there first quarter numbers.

Now it’s not just the big brick and mortar companies making a killing off the recession trenches, it’s also sites like Hulu and CinemaNow and a slue of others.

Now out of the MPAA legal online movie list, my favorites in no particular order.

HULU
ABC.COM
CINEMANOW
JOOST
FOX ON DEMAND
CARTOON NETWORK VIDEO.

Now most, if not all of the MPAA content is USA only, so your legal options out side the USA differ.

HD + Movies + UI = AppleTV - No it's the upcoming XBOX

Ok, the new iteration of the XBOX will look more like a PMC (Personal Media Center), then an online gaming console it was designed as. One day soon, you'll be able to download Halo 10 and the Sex in all the cities!! It's all about being the ALL-IN_ONE Device... I still think a dig-cable tuner and DVR software would be needed, I don't want to have to pay for TV shows if i'm already paying my cable bill. Ok so the hard-drive the addition of Netflix and a UI that looks more Apple then Microsoft. More over at XBOX.com
