Online DVD rental company, Netflix, has begun surveying subscribers to determine their interest in being able to stream movies over Microsoft’s Xbox Live service.

In theory, such a service would allow Xbox 360 users to stream movies from Netflix’s title library through a broadband Intternet connection. Netflix is not releasing the results of the survey and has not given a clear indication whether or not they are in talks with Microsoft to make the movie streaming option a reality.

However, the mere evaluation of the option is a continued sign of Netflix’s dedication to innovation in the online DVD rental market that they essentially created. We have reported previously on Netflix’s investment in high definition blu-ray DVD inventory and online movie streaming.
