If they have a console partner ship- probably either Nintendo or Sony, considering Microsoft already has a rental service, this is going to be amazing!
Yeah, the last thing XBL needs right now is MORE network traffic, considering the Undertow download took me a half hour to get since the service kept going down (ha!). Xbox does have the highest number of connected consoles though, and would be nice for those people who don't want another stb, perhaps netflix would subsidise a separate xbox network just to stream netflix videos on.
The firefox plugin is my biggest sticking point, and i'm very pleased to hear they are working on it. I hate having to open IE when i want to stream movies, It took me a half hour to get IE up to date to even play the movies the first time. With Firefox's addons support, imagine the possibilities.

I'd guess they'd partner with Sony. The PS3 has more builtin storage, and is more meant to function as a media center than the Wii is. Of course, there are also fewer PS3s than Wiis, so that might influence any decisions.

I would say that the Wii is out, since it doesn't do HD.
But the streaming movies from Netflix aren't in HD...

Not gonna happen - Amazon owns IMDB. Now immediately download through Unbox, maybe...but then again, who cares.
