blockbuster Blockbuster CEO Alludes to Forthcoming Movie Set Top Box

Blockbuster CEO Jim Keyes suggested during a recent conference call with investors that the company may have a movie set top box available for the holiday season. The Xbox 360 has skyrocketed up the sales charts since it became an STB for Netflix. The Roku Netflix Player is also doing very well.

Keyes passed along no other pertinent information on the unit, however. No official pricing or release date was given.

netflix roku hd Netflix Teams With Roku to Release Standalone HD Streaming Box

Roku has announced a partnership with entertainment giant Netflix in order to bring HD streaming to consumers by the end of the year. Currently, Netflix offers no option to instantly stream content in high definition. Roku will be releasing a $99 dollar standalone Netflix player that will feature HD streaming, according to the company’s VP of Consumer Products. They also promise a tweaked interface to "suit all of those extra pixels." The unit will even be able to handle all of that HD streaming goodness at a lower bitrate than previously expected.
