Sony Movies Now Available On 360's Netflix

There was a problem last week when the New Xbox Experience rolled out - and Netflix support rolled out along with it - yet Sony's movies were unavailable. Boneheads made conspiratorial mutterings. Netflix were more sensible.

The online movie company issued a statement last week saying "we hope they'll be licensed for Xbox 360 shortly". When Netflix say "shortly", they mean "shortly", as (most of) Sony's movies are now up and available for download. Least, the important ones are. Go knock yourselves out.

sony gets their money from microsoft, movies are back,conspiracy theories can stop

original seed5628d ago

Especially me. Im loving my Netflix on live.

lloyd_wonder5628d ago

Yup! Sony making money off the competition is only good business.

Firstkn1ghT5628d ago

Yup, I'm sure every computer in every Sony office has WIndows installed. More money from the competition.

lloyd_wonder5628d ago (Edited 5628d ago )

Yeah. And I'm sure after Vista and Windows 7 flops, MS's market share in computers will just keep on decreasing.

edit: Too late for Vista...

Firstkn1ghT5628d ago

Apple has a measly %10 market share. What operating system does the Sony Vaio laptops have???? huh??? huh??? :)

Easy money from the competition.

mikeslemonade5628d ago

BOOOO the xbox fans get what they want. I'm so sad.

bumnut5628d ago

"Yup! Sony making money off the competition is only good business"

sony fans agree

"Yup, I'm sure every computer in every Sony office has WIndows installed. More money from the competition"

sony fans disagree and demonstrate they are a bunch of ignorant fools.

apologies to the sony fans that are not ignorant fools

Mr_Bun5628d ago

Sony accepts your apologies.

heroicjanitor5628d ago

They both have other business interests than the games industry, not everything is about games and I doubt Sony's movie business is funding their games...

SL1M DADDY5628d ago

Can't count the number of Pro-MS fan blogs and pod casts that threw out their ideas of how Sony was pulling their movies from Netflix for reasons unbenounced to them. Stupid if you ask me since other Sony pictures were available. lol

mesh15628d ago

sony knew it had to bow to microsoft of the consequence wud be big like no windows on any sony vista etc they know who their masters are this gen .

ukilnme5628d ago

I use my 360 for gaming. As for watching movies, I must say that my PS3 does that pretty well.

SprayandPreycom5628d ago

at least sonys making some money somewhere since there ps3 gaming department isnt working out like they thought it would. But dont worry to much theres always the year 2017 that will be the year sony takes over... :]

Why o why5628d ago (Edited 5628d ago )

speak when your favorite console maker actually WINS a gen, then we'll see who's waiting;)

speaking of which why do pog and mart take their holidays at the same time:)..... wheres 'he' been anyway?

caladbolg7775628d ago (Edited 5628d ago )

They just don't make them like they used to. SprayandPreycom, you get an F, sir.

Gue15628d ago

If Sony is not making money of the gaming department "even though they have been outselling the X360 worldwide since launch" then, what is MS making with the X360 failure rate and the millions of dollars in warranties? the failed Zune, Vista and the HD-dvd add-on?

so easy to pwnd... =)

heroicjanitor5628d ago

How many billions has microsoft lost on the xbox and xbox 360? They have never made a profit from their games division, never even come close.

heroicjanitor5628d ago

So many disagrees for stating a fact... How can you disagree with a fact?

IaMs125628d ago

The problem with your fact is how long ago did was that? From what i have heard that they stated they are now in the profit margin, Big one? no of course not and from the SONY side they are in debt as well with the PS3 and i also heard the VAIO isnt that hot either... it goes both ways you need to spend to make money and they only company i see spending is MS right now

@SprayandPreycom:

You have no idea, Sony made about 320 million $ in the music business last year, they own Justin Timberlake, Beyonce, Madonna, Britney Spears, Bushido, die Fantastischen Vier and many more...

The gaming industry is a small piece compared to that.

Not even speaking about their movie companies.

lloyd_wonder5628d ago

Actually, the gaming industry is bigger than the music industry by a wide margin. Which is why Sony wont ever quit it. They can make billions selling hardware and make billions selling games.

But, I get what you mean. Compared to all of Sony's other businesses, gaming is a small piece.

solidsnakus5628d ago

LOL! looks like sony got owned.

PirateThom5628d ago

Yeah, getting money sure does suck. :-/

KARMA20095628d ago

LOL Microsoft paid Sony tons of $$$$$ for their 360 to view some Sony movies...

Mozilla895628d ago (Edited 5628d ago )

This doesn't make the selection of movies a whole lot better, the fact is they need some better movies on there!

I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now

Furesis12h ago

I would say it does. The combat is a bit shit for todays standards but everything else is great.

anast10h ago

It's worth a play through today.

El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron - Coming Back for a New Generation

Originally launched in 2011, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is coming to Nintendo Switch, so It's time to look back at the original.

jznrpg1d 7h ago

Still have my ps3 copies. Bought it at launch and another one when I found it cheap and in perfect condition about 10 years ago. I wouldn’t buy it on Switch but if they made a PS5 version I would. I still have one of my PS3 Fats hooked up so good to go either way.

darthv721d 6h ago

Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.

Fallout 3's Reveal Led To Death Threats And Bethesda's First Security Guard

The artist behind Fallout 4’s Deathclaw reveals just how bad things got back when Bethesda took over the series

anast1d 8h ago

People are stupid I get it. No one should feel unsafe,

But I think they need to talk about why they cut so many corners during the development process and why none of their games ever look current. And why they think all of this is okay while they charge full price.

LucasRuinedChildhood1d 8h ago

As much as Bethesda deserve criticism, that's not really relevant to the reveal of Fallout 3 in 2007.

VenomUK1d 5h ago

The default angle Kotaku always go for is to highlight the worst in gaming.

I would’ve focused on the creative.

anast11h ago

The game went downhill at Fallout 3's release. This is when they started to cut corners.

gold_drake1d 3h ago

there is no "but". the hell lol
you dont send death threats, period.

anast10h ago

Usually, you have good comments but this isn't one of them. It just rides the mob. We can do both condemn the actions and not let them use it for other things.

I can say I received a death threat and everyone needs to shut up. People are not honest and will use horrible things to their advantage.

Armaggedon23h ago

Not all games “look” current.

anast10h ago

Their games always look like the gen before it.

Armaggedon1h ago

Yeah, but thats not the result of laziness, incompetence, or a bad engine. Thats what happens with their type of open world games. Its hard for people to find a point of comparison because no one makes games like Bethesda does.

gold_drake4h ago

mh ok thanks, i still think ur wrong in this mate.

anast3h ago

No problem. I'm not here to convince you. I'm only stating an actuality. What your words do if we look at them like events.
