Who Will Win the Home Entertainment Battle?

Lots of harsh comments before me, but some might have merit: You observe that some might not want to pay $12.95/month OR $400/lifetime but expect a regular Joe (or my kids grandparents) to have an X-Box?

While MSFT just might have some winners and AAPL might have missed the boat a bit, the only sure winner I see is NFLX. They have a service that works now and is evolving into whatever consumers want it to become - as far as video (no games). The customer determines how much they want to pay/month, how franticly they want to watch/return the DVD's, and they still have the "Watch Now" going for them. It's almost like NFLX is anxious for the day when nobody gets any DVD's in the mail - everything is streamed. Me, too!
