Quickflix WatchNow Movie Streaming Coming To Xbox 360 Later This Year


Quickflix already offers its WatchNow streaming movies service on computers, TVs and the PS3. It now has its foot in the other main console camp with a deal to offer the service via the Xbox 360 as well.

Quickflix’s announcement is light on details, saying only that the service will be available to XBox Live subscribers in Australia and New Zealand “later in 2012”. As we saw last week, the range of movies through WatchNow (and its main rivals in the movie streaming space) still needs some improvement, though that hasn’t stopped 3000 people a month signing up since launch. It’s good to see the range of device options expanding; I’m presuming tablets will be next.
