Joystiq posted an interview with a marketing VP at Netflix who wasn't interested in sharing any hard data about the intersection between Netflix and the Xbox 360. Well, there was this meaningless factoid:

...more than one million Xbox gold members have watched more than a billion and a half minutes of movies and TV episodes via the Xbox 360...

It's the sort of interview where a whole lot of nothing is said, but if you read between the lines -- and squint really hard! -- you can discern a few vague shapes. For instance, I'm pretty sure Netflix isn't coming to the PS3 or Wii anytime soon.

However, right before the interview jackknifes, veers out of control, and plummets into an unrecoverable tangent, the Netflix VP offered this response when asked if the company had any interest in including videogames among its catalog.

We are not interested in games. It is a whole different economic model. Games have a shorter shelf life. A great movie, like The Conversation from 1972, is still a great movie. But a video game from 10 years ago is toast.

I don't necessarily disagree with his point. And I'm sure it's a point Netflix wants to be clear considering how comfortably they're intertwining with Xbox Live. But I just want to say: Dude. Planescape: Torment, X-Wing Alliance, and System Shock 2 came out in 1999. I'm so glad companies like Lucasarts, Good Old Games, and Gametap don't share your sentiment. There are plenty of ways for people to monetize our nostalgia.
