FlickSpoon - Netflix Now Coming to More "Platforms"


Can Mario finally finish season 6 of "The Sopranos"?

Rumor has it that Netflix is now coming to a console near you. It has been nearly 5 months since the service has been released for the Xbox360, and since then Netflix has gained more than 1 million subscribers to their service. An impressive number considering the company totals about 10 million subscribers.

Now it appears that Netflix would like to branch out to other console owners. It has been confirmed that they are looking for an "Engineering Leader--Gaming Platforms" to direct "a small technology team to rapidly prototype and iterate on a variety of platforms."

While it has not been confirmed what platform they are looking to expand to, the most obvious choice is the PS3. But what about the Wii? Some people say that there will be a disc that you can purchace for $9.99 that will allow you to access the Netflix streaming library. Others, such as Nintendo president Satoru Iwata, state that the Nintendo service would be different from their competetors.
