Is this any indication of something interesting that might come our way in the near future? Just recently, movie rental outfit Netflix was spotted asking their subscribers through a survey whether they're interested in getting their rented movies streamed through Microsoft's Xbox 360 console or not.

Will this mean that Netflix and Microsoft will eventually offer a joint movie rental service? Netflix spokesman Steve Swasey did not comment directly about the possibility of Netflix teaming up with Microsoft, but he did mention that the movie rental company is considering several new ways of distributing their movies.

We certainly hope that the speculation turns out to be true. Alongside Microsoft's Xbox Live Video Marketplace, being able to rent movies through your console will definitely give more life and meaning to your Xbox 360. More updates as they happen.
