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 seed5623d ago

Especially me. Im loving my Netflix on live.

lloyd_wonder5623d ago

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

Firstkn1ghT5623d ago

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

lloyd_wonder5623d ago (Edited 5623d 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...

Firstkn1ghT5623d ago

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

Easy money from the competition.

mikeslemonade5623d ago

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

bumnut5623d 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_Bun5622d ago

Sony accepts your apologies.

heroicjanitor5622d 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 DADDY5622d 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

mesh15623d 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 .

ukilnme5622d ago

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

SprayandPreycom5623d 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 why5623d ago (Edited 5623d 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?

caladbolg7775623d ago (Edited 5623d ago )

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

Gue15623d 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... =)

heroicjanitor5622d 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.

heroicjanitor5622d ago

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

IaMs125622d 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_wonder5623d 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.

solidsnakus5623d ago

LOL! looks like sony got owned.

PirateThom5623d ago

Yeah, getting money sure does suck. :-/

KARMA20095623d ago

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

Mozilla895622d ago (Edited 5622d ago )

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

It's A Crime That There's No Sleeping Dogs 2 Yet

Huzaifah from eXputer: "Sleeping Dogs from the early 2010s is one of the best open-world games out there but in dire need of a resurgence."

LG_Fox_Brazil3d ago

I agree, I consider the first one a cult classic already

isarai3d ago

You say "yet" as if it's even possible anymore. United Front Games is gone, along with anyone that made this game what it is

CrimsonWing692d ago

That’s what happens when games sell poorly. And I’ve seen people wonder why people cry when a game sells badly… this is your answer.

solideagle2d ago

Majority of the time it's true but if a company/publisher is big (in terms of money), they can take a hit or 2. e.g. I am not worried about Rebirth sales as Square will make Remake 3 anyway but if FF 17 doesn't sell then Square might need to look for alternative. <-- my humble opinion

Abnor_Mal2d ago

Doesn’t Microsoft own the IP now since they acquired Activision?

DaReapa2d ago

No. Square Enix owns the IP.

Abnor_Mal2d ago

Oh okay, Activision owned True Crime, but when that didn’t sell as intended it was canceled. Six months later Square Enix bought the rights and changed the title to Sleeping Dogs.*

*As per Wikipedia

boing12d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Sleeping Dogs was a sleeper hit back then. It was fantastic. It actually still is. Would love a sequel to this, or at least a revive of True Crime series.

Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle-earth II - PC Wore it Better

Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle-earth II was an intriguing and unique RTS title, that sadly suffered in its console port.

dadavis19923d ago

Was just thinking about this game and wishing I had a way to revisit it. The way EA scrubs these titles from existence once their licensing runs out is horrid.

Michiel19892d ago

there is a client made by modders and it also works online.

kevco332d ago

Indeed. The game can still be played online on PC.

Xbox 360 players, though? Bang outta luck.
