[url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820139132&cm_re=SSDNow_V_series-_-20-139-132-_-Product]this one is well regarded for a value 64GB drive[/url]
for my money, its just too awkward interacting with STBs/DVRs, through no fault of google. they have to play with the system they are given. now if comcast/TW/cablevision/dish/dtv/etc would start licensing googletv to run on their STBs that would be something compelling.

I just heard this morning that Apple may be looking to purchase Netflix, has anyone else ran across this news?
[/quote]I’d heard this rumor a couple of times also recently. I don’t know how legitimate it might be though. I’m not holding my breath.
[/quote][url=http://www.hackingnetflix.com/2009/11/should-apple-buy-netflix-revisited.html]I’m under the impression that its more analysts saying that netflix would be a good purchase for apple[/url], combined with Jobs recently saying in an analyst-centric conference call that they are sitting on their 50 billion in cash in case a good acquisition opportunity opens up more than an actual rumor coming from apple.

[url=http://blog.netflix.com/2008/11/encoding-for-streaming.html]here is there tech specs, at least as current as late 2008[/url].
i’m not sure if they have changed anything, it seems possible since they are claiming 1080p enabled streaming for the PS3 plus 5.1 audio is coming but who knows.
i guess i was off, its not 6Mbps, its 3.8Mbps. and its definitely 720p
my experience is that its not quite as good as a (compressed) cable HD feed but still very watchable. it works best for video without quick actions (duh, i suppose). i remember watching Big Fan and thinking it looked real good, but i imagine you can retain a lot of quality while still hitting bitrates with that movie.

lots of the streaming is in HD (for pretty much every device except the wii, which cant handle HD), unless you are talking 20+Mbps HD feeds which im sure is going to be a while.
but at 6Mbps you can stream a heck of a lot of stuff before you hit comcast’s 250GB barrier.

judging from these two articles/posts the cost of streaming is continuing to fall while costs to ship a disc are at least staying more or less constant:
[url=http://www.hackingnetflix.com/2009/03/what-it-costs-for-netflix-to-deliver-streaming-titles.html]in early 2009 it was estimated that it cost 9 cents to stream an HD movie and 78 cents to ship a disc.[/url]
[url=http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/10_34/b4192038586570.htm]by 2010 the streaming price had been pushed down to 5 cents per HD movie[/url]. they may have been able to wring some extra efficiency out of their sorting and stuffing facilities but its unlikely that they have gotten a better deal from the usps in the last year.
It clearly makes financial sense for them to push streaming as much as they can. the price difference is so drastic that even if people were streaming many more movies than they ever got on disc they still would be making money.
