Netflix Player to Challenge Apple TV?

Probably not, at least if Netflix does not start delivering better content. The $100 acquisition price and $9+ per month service cost are both decent, but the movie selection is reportedly abysmal.

Quote:
The problem: There's not much worth watching. For now, the selection is limited -- 10,000 titles, or less than 10% of Netflix's catalog -- and weak. CNET notes that only two of the top 100 movies are available for streaming. The rest: "Like the kind of DVDs you would see in the bargain bin at the 99 cent store," commenter "Joe" once said on our site. And -- for now at least -- you can't use the box to tap into other digital video services, like Hulu, your Apple (AAPL) iTunes or Amazon (AMZN) Unbox library, Google's (GOOG) YouTube, etc.
