With the news this week of Netflix and Netflix HD Streaming finally coming to the Xbox 360, this got me thinking of how a subscription based model might work with the Apple TV/iTunes Store. For instance, I think a subscription based model would be awesome for TV Shows. One monthly charge might get you so many views a month, almost replicating a cable service. I’m not so sure how a streaming movie service would go over. As a lot of us have said over and over, I think we want to own our movies and rent TV Shows. So what do you think. Would you like to see a subscription service come to the Apple TV/iTunes Store? Take our poll to the right or leave a comment below.

We have 4 more titles to end the week. If your sick of the halloween horror we have a few comedies for your viewing please, in particular one of the funniest movies I have seen in a long time, The 40 Year Old Virgin. And I think, I may be wrong, but The 40 Year Old Virgin is making it’s return trip as an HD title to Apple TV.

AMJ fills that niche with a daily list of new movies.
