I have been streaming Netflix movies as well as Hulu and CBS content for quite sometime now on the Xbox using MediaMall's PlayOn. It is a great piece of free (for now) software that lets you interface to major content providers from a laptop to your Xbox 360. The numbers are about the same as the Netflix content, maybe a little less. Anyhow, this trend of streaming video sure is coming along nicely. I cancelled my cable months ago and get all of my movies and TV off of the web (Family Guy and the Office via Hulu!!) I hope no one is still paying for tiered services on Frac DS3s ... Ouch!!!
