Rumor: Netflix coming to Xbox 360 and PS3?

According to a blogged up blog post on the interblogs, a Netflix survey that's supposedly been making the rounds suggests that the service may be coming to both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. If you believe what Seanbajuice has to say, the survey asked, "If as part of your Netflix membership you could instantly watch movies and TV episodes on your TV with your PS/3 or XBOX 360, how likely would you/anyone in your household be to do that?"

i didnt knw they had plans for 360 but i vaguely remember sony mentioning netflix in their plans for downloadable video. I wonder how this will work with microsoft since they already pretty much have their vod service on lock not sure they need netflix help. Sony on the other hand needs netflix

marinelife96332d ago

How bout if Netflix started renting games as well as movies.

THE_JUDGE6332d ago

because we all know developers get paid when you rent their games. Stupid!

TheGamer6332d ago

DO you not need a HDD for streaming videos?

marinelife96332d ago

Guess you've never heard of Gamefly, Numbthumb, Gameexpress, or a small brick and mortar called Blockbuster.

Let me fill you in on a secret. Gamers rent some games and buy others.
Sometimes you just don't see the value in owning it long term so you rent it a game like a Heavenly Sword (amazing game). If the developer wants people to buy the game they need to add value and longevity (online mode, dlc).

THE_JUDGE6332d ago

services like the ones you have listed are the ones who hardly ever buy the games. Why would you buy a game that didn't have a long lasting online if you had an easy game renting service? Because of theses services devs are getting the money they deserve for their games. Who are you supporting with your renting? It sure isn't the makers of the games!

We're Going Blu-ray

While we will continue to make our current selection of HD DVD titles available to you for the next several months, we will not be adding additional HD DVD titles or reordering replacements.

Toward the end of February, HD DVDs in your Saved Queue will automatically be changed to standard definition DVDs. Then toward the end of this year, all HD DVDs in your Queue will be changed to standard definition DVDs. Don't worry, we will contact you before this happens.

We're sorry for any inconvenience. If you have any questions or need further assistance, please call us at 1 (888) 638-3549.

I have both systems so its not a real big deal but it does seem that HD-DVD is running out of bullets in this shootout.

Nice Tidbit there Mike:) +1 Bubbles

Hopefully the quality/resolution is good because streaming video to my 720p 32inch TV is going to look like crap.

Ureval6332d ago

If this is true it would be phenomenal... but I cant see this happening. With Xbox movie downloads and IPTV in the works I dont see how this would be a moneymaker for MS, thusly I dont see how they would allow it.

It would be awesome though...

sonarus6332d ago

yea thats what i am saying xbox dosent really need it but sony on the other hand could use a lil netflix help

INehalemEXI6332d ago

I use Netflix be nice if they sent games as well as movies to yah. I wouldn't mind netflix on PS3 I guess already use it on PC though. Rather they focus on sending games via mail as well as movies.

XBLA Classic 'A World of Keflings' Is Coming to Steam, and There's a Demo

"Back in the innocent days of 2010, A World of Keflings was a fairly popular successor to A Kingdom for Keflings. I even wrote about it a few times in 2012! But the world of humans moved on, and NinjaBee's city-building/adventure game was last seen on the ill-fated Wii U in 2014. Fast-forward to the dark year of 2025, and not only is A World of Keflings coming to Steam, but there's already a playable demo! Perhaps the cheerful, no pressure gameplay that the Keflings bring is just what we need nowadays," says Co-Optimus.

It Has Been Over 2,500 Days Since The Elder Scrolls 6 Was Revealed

It will come out in another 1000-2000 days or so. I’d rather they remake Morrowind. After they added quest arrows, sprint button, making stats lesser and the big nerfs to spells Elder Scrolls has been too simplified. They could change that with ES6 but I don’t have much faith in modern Bethesda. I would love to be wrong

Wait until he hears about Star Citizen...

Dear God it's been 4 years since infinite and no official update on anything lol.

Tacoboto4d ago

No official update on anything?

They replaced studio leadership
They changed the studio name
They announced the change to UE5
... all while supporting Infinite

The support to Infinite isn't what it originally should have been but they've still been providing tons of official updates over the years, and as recently as two months ago added a brand new weapon.

GamerRN4d ago

I think remaking Halo Combat Evolved, and going to 2 and 3 again, will help give the studio an idea of how to make a Halo game feel like Halo again

Tacoboto4d ago

Infinite did feel like Halo, that's not what the complaints were...

The complaints were almost literally everything else. Monetization, netcode and desync, the campaign structure, story, and single biome, the weaker-than-expected post-launch content.

InUrFoxHole4d ago

Gotta agree. Infinite felt like halo.

Profchaos4d ago

Dev times in modern days 4 years of silence isn't unheard of when things are running smoothly.

And around 6 months ago 343 did show a tech demo of ue5 using halo assets so it's not radio silence.

Given all the shake ups i am more surprised we're getting anything next year at all.

RaidenBlack5d ago (Edited 5d ago )

They coulda started with Halo 3 remake ... I know Halo CE remaster was not proper with the art style but still, remaking after a remaster seems dull, when Halo 3 and Reach have started to show some age.

PhillyDonJawn4d ago

Yeah I hate they used Halo reach artstyle. Hope this remake feel authentic yet fresh

--Onilink--4d ago

Probably the simplest to work around with. They are reportedly doing it in UE5, so its just as much an Anniversary thing, as its probably the studio getting familiar and setting up their tools and processes in the engine with an actual game, to facilitate the development of the next Halo

Profchaos4d ago

I'm guessing combat evolved has a smaller scope in general the later half of the game features a ton of backtracking and reused assets making it a easier game to remake on a deadline

Its also a better choice if this is the first game to be multiplatform mind you I think it's pretty much a given that anyone with a passing curiosity has played this by now in some way be it pc or brought a used console for a few bucks

darthv724d ago

This will likely come to PS5 at the same time. 25 years of XB.... shared with PS.

Obscure_Observer4d ago

It´s gonna be among best sellers on PS Store next year regardless.

raWfodog4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

I would love to see Lost Odyssey come over to PS5. I would definitely buy that again. That was the first game that I played on my 360. Loved the story and battle system. One of the best JRPGs of all time in my opinion.
