Over on Geek Tonic, Brent’s taken a stab at guessing the three new Netflix hardware partners: Sony, Microsoft, and TiVo. So, I may as well get my forecast on the record too:

1. Microsoft (Xbox 360, Vista Media Center, HP media extender televisions, etc)
2. Toshiba (Connected DVD player - they need to replace HD DVD with something…)
3. A networking company with media extenders like Netgear or Dlink as the smaller partner

Leave your entries in the comments! Remind me in Q4 and the closest prediction will get something. If we have multiple correct submissions, I’ll randomly choose one for the yet-to-be-determined prize.
