Poorest Comparison of These Devices EVER!
i2fun@... Updated - 5th Sep 2010
@mayadanteamihan Netflix is a service available at least in UK and Europe as well. Not a device and it's available on your cell phone via Android Market (will be on Google TV as well), Xbox Live Marketplace (available to even future WP7 devices), Apple App Market, and via web for entertainment PC's and all DLNA enabled devices. BUT it is not everything it's cracked up to be. There are better services available Larry left out along with devices like Sony PS3's. Which are now neck n neck at 40million devices a piece with Xbox 360's!

@Larry
Streaming Services is a competitive market sector all it's own that indeed includes more than Netflixes! Add at least GreenCine (#3 rated), MovieLink, Real.Com, Amazon, Hulu, PlayOn, iTunes, YouTube (which already has streamed pay for content for ages now, just not from Google themselves) along with foolishly excluding all mention of Blockbuster. Which is still #2 online (it's their brick n mortar stores going bankrupt not their online, stupid) and no doubt Vudu delivers the highest quality service Movie download rentals on the planet!!!

How in the World does Apple TV rate even being mentioned as a device out for years and still no sales to speak of as a proprietary device separate from iTunes sales and rentals? Netflix will always need a medium to stream through. Whether that be PC's, Sony PS3, MS Xbox, Android Mobile devices, Apple iOS mobile devices, Google TV, Samsung TV's, Toshiba's TV's, etc!

Maybe you should stick to comparing Services to Services and Devices to Devices..... Larry. Because this is one of most asinine comparisons on the planet! ....it makes no sense whatsoever!!!

And how in the World can you even compare devices that aren't even out yet is way beyond me. Therefore your score is a big fat ZERO!

Prediction: Google Tv BluRay Player Combos, Google TV DVR Combos, Google TV Media Centers, Portable Google TV Entertainment Centers for Cars/Vans/Motorhomes and Google TV Sports Bar Centers! ...yeah not much of a prediction since these are already being worked on. In Fact Sony has a Combo Google TV and BluRay player already coming out. Because it's perfect for Internet Interactive content shipping in Movies and it'll also be coming to PS3 and there's over 40 Million of those Sold to date!!! haha..... wink ....yeah works well with Interactive Games as Well! lol
