Heroes: Netflix/NBC get outside the box
It was not too long ago that Netflix rolled out the ability for people to stream movies from its website, eliminating the wait for DVDs to arrive via mail (they do a great job at that, BTW). You will now be able to watch “Heroes” at netflix.com a day after it airs on NBC. How’s that for NBC getting out of the TV box… this sounds like the first of more to come. And, makes me think: could Netflix rival iTunes, Amazon, Joost, Hulu in ways we may not have considered. Speaking of Hulu, this move is kind of interesting with that respect. And of course there is always Blockbuster, yawn (i still want my $2 — still bitter over late fees). Sounds like the beginning of what could become Netflix 2.0, if they expand the concept a lot more. They have a good brand for it.
