@Jordan Roku hands down seems like the total best deal going as archived TV content and movies migrate onto the screen. I don’t have it but I’d buy it before anything else out there now.

There’s already the XBox360 tie-in, but my Roku just got upgraded this week to do Netflix/HD (ok, only 720p, but still) and it sounds like the Amazon OnDemand (or wtf) is next. I’ll take Roku ($100, small box, no fan, never reboots in the middle of a movie) any day over ANYTHING Microsoft would bring to the table. And I think Netflix is smart enough to know that.

@Brett Nordquist Is Netflix a smaller aquisition? I mean, it’s smaller than Netflix, but is it more viable? Discuss!

I wish Microsoft would focus more attention on smaller acquisitions instead of the big (and dumb) ones like Yahoo. I’d love to see them grab Netflix but I don’t know if it makes a big enough splash for Balmer who seems hell bent on taking on Google.
