Netflix could soon make its way to Xbox 360 and PS3

Netflix logoXbox 360 and PlayStation 3 owners rejoice! It appears that Netflix streaming video could soon be showing up on your consoles.

The speculation comes from a recent Netflix survey which asked, “If as part of your Netflix membership you could instantly watch movies and TV episodes on your TV with your PS/3 or XBOX 360, how likely would you/anyone in your household be to do that?”

The survey goes on to say that consoles would be able to play streaming media using a “special Netflix disk.” It gets even better! Netflix claims that there wouldn’t be any fees except for the subscription fee you are already paying and a one-time $3 charge for the disk.

Video on consoles seems to be a pretty small market for the rental giant, so we’re not quite sure if they’re ready to offer the service just yet. If the rumors are true, though, this would be a great alternative to Apple TV.
