    Back in June , the market was flirting with the idea that Amazon was looking to acquire Netflix. Analysts largely dismissed the combination then. After all, Amazon itself is preparing for a world that is moving away from physical products like books and CDs, and is instead placing emphasis on digital delivery via the Kindle and other devices. Why would the online retailing giant want to buy a company that processed millions of scratched, misplaced, and expensive DVDs? Yesterday may mark a change in the perceptions of a Netflix-Amazon deal . In short, Netflix is becoming a lot more attractive to Amazon.

    YT is out to increase the amount of time that viewers spend on the site, which is currently 15 mins per day. They spend 5 hrs per day on TV, so YT execs see that as their main competition. How to make YT viewing experience more like TV? More sticky? Need to generate new models for search suggestions ("discovery," a la Netflix and Amazon, or social media, a la Facebook). Also need to explore models for pushing content, Amazon.

xbox online streaming cable media industry

  • Executives at Microsoft are fond of saying that its subscription gaming service, Xbox Live, should be thought of as a cable channel.
  • The company is even producing shows for users: it is in the middle of the second season of “1 vs. 100,” an interactive version of a game show that was on NBC.The content ambitions do not end there. Microsoft has held in-depth talks with the Walt Disney Company about a programming deal with ESPN, according to people close to the talks, who requested anonymity because the talks were intended to be private.
  • For a per-subscriber fee, ESPN could provide live streams of sporting events, similar to the ones available through ESPN 360,

  • Similarly, users of the Sony PlayStation can tune into BBC shows and see Weather Channel updates, as well as stream Netflix. Last week, Netflix extended its streaming service to the Nintendo Wii.
  • console makers have a significant head start. Nearly 60 percent of American homes now have at least one console, according to the consulting firm Deloitte, up from 44 percent three years ago.
  • In November, Nielsen started to track “1 vs. 100” play and ad views. The pilot program “is the tip of the iceberg,” said Gerardo Guzman, a director for Nielsen Games; eventually, he hopes to generate TV-style ratings.Mr. Kroese said Xbox advertisers were “very interested in being able to compare the media buy on Xbox to other media buys they do.”

    Blog post about a media center that may forever change the way we consume media. "Boxee is a media center for the age of broadband and social networking. It doesn't just play media stored on your computer; it indexes hundreds (possibly thousands) of streaming videos from, amongst others: ABC, NBC, Comedy Central, and (thanks to a little browser-based trickery) Hulu. It's also a platform for widgets and apps that can pull in additional content from services like Pandora, Netflix, and MLB.TV. Plus, like any piece of software worth its digital weight in bytes, Boxee integrates with social networks like Twitter and Facebook for sharing what your watching with others."

    Microsoft's Xbox Live internet service, which recently lost one of its trump cards when rivals Sony (NYSE: SNE) and Nintendo matched its partnership with Netflix (NSDQ: NFLX), may soon fire back with a new content deal of its own. Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT) "has held in-depth discussions" with Walt Disney Co. (NYSE: DIS) over a deal that would let Xbox 360 owners stream some live ESPN content directly on their consoles, the NYT reports.

2010 Blockbuster Redbox Home Video

shared by ethan tussey on 07 Apr 10 - Cached
  • However, unlike Warner Bros., which announced its deal with Blockbuster two weeks ago, 20th Century Fox hasn’t inked agreements with Netflix or Redbox that would delay their own new release windows. In fact, Redbox is still in the midst of a legal battle with Fox, after the studio sought to keep retailers from selling DVDs that the company could put into its kiosks.
  • Sony Pictures Entertainment and 20th Century Fox are at the heart of today’s news, which, combined with an earlier deal struck with Warner Bros., will extend Blockbuster’s ability to rent movies on the same day and date that they go on sale at other retailers.

    More studios work to keep Blockbuster alive. Is this about quarterly earnings? Is this a messgae to Redbox?
