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 seed5629d ago

Especially me. Im loving my Netflix on live.

lloyd_wonder5629d ago

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

Firstkn1ghT5629d ago

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

lloyd_wonder5629d ago (Edited 5629d 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...

Firstkn1ghT5629d ago

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

Easy money from the competition.

mikeslemonade5629d ago

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

bumnut5629d 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

mesh15629d 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.

SprayandPreycom5629d 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 why5629d ago (Edited 5629d 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?

caladbolg7775629d ago (Edited 5629d ago )

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

Gue15629d 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_wonder5629d 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.

solidsnakus5629d ago

LOL! looks like sony got owned.

PirateThom5629d ago

Yeah, getting money sure does suck. :-/

KARMA20095629d 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!

6 Fun Games Where You Actually Play As The Bad Guy

While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Profchaos1h ago

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Tacoboto56m ago

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

banger8841m ago

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).

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

Furesis17h ago

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

anast16h ago

It's worth a play through today.

the first one is abit the odd one out but after u finished it, believe it it gets tremendously better and better

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 12h 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 12h ago

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