Oh come on, people, if Microsoft owned a publishing company like Sony does, they'd do the same thing.

Besides, the company responsible for this, although owned by sony, operates almost entirely independantly. There's still Sony-owned IP's on the 360.

I doubt it. Generally companies that are competing in one aspect of business are perfectly happy working together on others. Sony's Colombia Pictures isn't competing with the Xbox 360 so there's no reason for this.

Actually they ARE competing now. Don't forget, Sony launched their own video marketplace just after E3.

No. The Console divisions of both companies are competing. That's it. Sony's movie divisions are not competing with anything of Microsofts and it doesn't make sense to say that they are in competition over this. Why would Sony pull that from the system. They can offer their **** up on both video marketplaces and it doesn't even matter which one someone buys it from - Sony gets money off of it.

thats not columbia though.

As said, generally, companies are willing to work together unless their competing with each other in that specific area.

Its why toshiba and sony were working together with the cell, but fighting each other with HDDVD and Bluray at the same time.

Kushan don't post sensible things, you know the only acceptable reply is to say "**** Sony".

Get with the times :rolleyes:

It's not ideal for 360 owners no, but it's hardly suprising. Nintendo recently blocked Goldeneye, a single game, from even getting to MS.

For now, however, Sony Pictures Entertainment films available for streaming through Netflix — including “Superbad,” “We Own The Night” and others — will remain blocked on Xbox 360, until Sony says otherwise.

Some are available, maybe others will come.

Hey guys, THE NXE IS OUT!

Well, sort of! If you installed the "Leaked" update, you can NOW connect back to live and download the rest of it, the restriction has been lifted. Apparently things are going slow, it's possible they haven't allocated server bandwidth yet or it's just going to get worse come the official release, either way I'd advise people to get stuck in NOW!

Make no mistake about it. If the shoes were on the other foot then all the same. People would be **** Microsoft just as well and you know it. So don't even try to play that card. :p

Microsoft don't own any movie studios.

Just seems like they want their own movies exclusive to their system.

I don't believe it's the case for renting movies on marketplace, it's just Netflix right?

edit: I read it properly

"As watching instantly becomes a more prominent part of the Netflix service, our goal is to have all of our streaming content licensed for all of our partner devices. We're doing well in this area, but it will take some time before we fully achieve that goal. Today, titles regularly come in and out of license and there is a natural ebb and flow to what we have on license at any given point in time. In the case of Xbox 360, a few hundred titles are temporarily unavailable to be streamed via the Xbox game console. Those titles are still available to be watched on subscribers' computers and on TVs via other partner devices, and we hope they'll be licensed for Xbox 360 shortly."

Licensing between Sony and Netflix it is, but only to the 360.

In all likliness, it's probably more due to a ToS condition between Sony and Netflix regarding their competitors. Even though they may not (currently) directly compete, chances are someone, somewhere fired off a legal notice and they've taken them off while they renegotiate.

I don't know if you've purposefully ignored my point or just didn't get it, but what I was saying was that if the tables were turned and Microsoft did own a movie studio and Sony made an agreement with a movie distributor to offer their services on their console and Microsoft were to disallow such distribution that people would be angry at Microsoft all the same. Of course, this is all hypothetical because Microsoft doesn't own a movie studio, etc ...

I'm sure that will happen as well. Sony is simply going to ask for more money and all we can hope for is that NetFlix agrees. When/if that does happen, I will definitely be getting a NetFlix subscription.

Hmm...I've been patiently waiting for this, but I guess there's no point in waiting anymore. Was I right in thinking that you could install the update VIA thumb drive? If so, then I'll finally be joining the club tonight.

Extract the rar so you have a folder called $systemupdate, put that FOLDER on a USB thumb drive, so you have X:\$systemupdate with a file inside that folder.

Then just plug it into your 360 and when you turn it on, it'll ask you to update. It wont brick your system unless you do something silly (like turn it off mid-update). All these updates are signed by Microsoft, there's no way to create a "bad" one that the 360 will install.

I can confirm this to be true! I just installed the update from my flash drive and when I signed into my account, it prompted me to update.

    • Steam Next Fest returns with thousands of new demos to try out

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Steam Next Fest returns with thousands of new demos to try out by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Valve has been routinely kicking off demo festivals on Steam for years now, and the second drop of 2026 has just opened its doors. It's a great opportunity for any PC gamers to find some interesting games before they release. The June edition of Steam Next Fest is a week-long digital festival including gameplay slices from a large number of indie developers, though a few major publishers are involved this time too. Interested players can use the Next Fest hub page's various sorting and filtering options to easily sort through the hordes of demos available. The top buttons offer quick access to separate and important sorting options, including "By Genre, By Theme, By Feature," with each one offering more granular settings when clicked. At the same time, the built-in Steam tags system is also available below every page to discover new games more quickly. As always, logging in will also enable Steam gamers to utilize Valve's recommendation algorithms to find game demos they might like, specifically, depending on their past play and purchase histories. This time there is even a toggle now to swap between getting a random and personalized selection as Valve collects more data on the available demos. The Charts section is where you can find the most popular demos on the platform right now, offering up the most hyped titles in a simple list. Right at the kickoff, Mistfall Hunter, Empulse, Echoes of Aincrad, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, Over the Hill, Mortal Shell II, and more are trending. Expect this list to change as the week progresses. This edition of the Steam Next Fest is slated to end on June 22 at 10 AM PT. Valve's latest event is now open, and it can be accessed by going to the dedicated hub page here.

      I lived and breathed MSN Messenger/Windows Live Messenger. Going to the mess.be website (still online with no changes since 2013) to download display pictures etc. I was a beta tester for Messenger Plus! and spent quite a lot of time on the MsgPlus! forums (a read-only copy is still online at https://shoutbox.menthix.net) Some old Neowin articles also https://www.neowin.net/news/messenger-plus-350/ good times but how time flies

      Well i'll look into a docking station if needed and use that.    Normally i don't usually have all the drives connected at once,  usually once a month to sync the latest files, and then they go back in there storage area
