"Set-top boxes that stream content from the Web are still relatively hard to come by"

What was the last retail outlet you went to that *didn't* sell the Xbox 360? I assume that the Netflix service on 360 is currently only in the US, but that's probably for the good reason that Netflix has only worked out licensing for content in the US. Once Netflix goes worldwide, there's no reason the 360 service for it won't follow suit. And a Roku Netflix box (haven't used 'em but hear they're good) is only a hundred bucks -- if you have Internet enough to stream video, you probably have Internet enough to order one of those.
