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

marinelife96071d ago

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

THE_JUDGE6071d ago

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

TheGamer6071d ago

DO you not need a HDD for streaming videos?

marinelife96071d 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_JUDGE6071d 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

Dear Mike,

You're receiving this email because you have asked to receive high-definition movies in the HD DVD format. As you may have heard, most of the major movie studios have recently decided to release their high-definition movies exclusively in the Blu-ray format. In order to provide the best selection of high-definition titles for our members, we have decided to go exclusively with Blu-ray as well.

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.

You can click here to change your format preferences.

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

-The Netflix Team

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.

Ureval6071d 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...

sonarus6071d ago

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

INehalemEXI6071d 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.

What a great game this was. Man we could use some more of these...

darthv721h ago

Does this game support cross progression? I still have not beaten the first (I got sidetracked with lots of other games) and Id like to pick up where I left off through this version.

Zeke6857m ago

Yes, if you mean PS4 to PS5 to PS5 Pro. Same save can be imported.

Zeke6850m ago

To clarify, I played it on PS3 OG version. Imported that save to my PS4 remaster, imported that one to the PS5 remake. Hope that makes it more clear. ;)

Zeke685m ago

@darth72 Oops sorry, my wife you told me the remake DID NOT support old saves. She said I restarted the game and usually she have a great memory. So sorry, it seems I was wrong about the remake! :(

Game Journalism is too corporate to trust

Game reviews have been around since the mid-1970s. Play Meter was the first of its kind. During their time, it was mainly coin-operated machines that were covered, as certain arcade games that many of us consider classics such as Space Invaders were popular. Other publications sprang up, such as Arcade Alley in 1979. From then on, gaming journalism was on the rise. Electronic Games Magazine, Famitsu, The Games Machine, Nintendo Power, and others all gave way to gaming journalism’s growing popularity and importance. In the beginning, gaming journalism was about the love of the games, the history of the product, and giving potential consumers genuine insight. The passion was there. The commitment was there. The insight was there. And most importantly, the trust was there.

That and a bunch of haters have made gaming a big negative cesspool.

lodossrage1d 16h ago

True, that's almost as much of a problem as the gaming media itself

CrimsonIdol18h ago

There's a fair bit to hate about big corporate game companies

qalpha1h ago

"I've got a great idea! Let's turn this article about corporate journalism into an attack on gamers!"

thorstein20h ago

They've become nothing more than corporate shills. Rather than speaking truth to power, they're just looking at the latest clickbait no matter how false it is.

The straight up lies are annoying. Then journalists claim that a lie is an opinion. Um... no.

yea its been like this for years and only has gotten worse during covid.

they are sometimes worse than celeb. trash news ha.

"you will NOT believe what the DEV of XYZ said"

or and those are my favourites,

"XYZ game gets REMASTER TREATMENT" and you click on the link and its just a god damn mod ha.

Tacoboto19h ago

"XYZ Players are saying THIS about the new update!"

And the article is based on a single tweet from someone with an anime profile image

porkChop12h ago

It's going to get even worse because IGN bought out a bunch of their competition this year. So IGN now publishes games, sells games, reviews the games they publish and sell, and controls a large portion of games media. What could go wrong?

JackBNimble3h ago

IGN has no more credibility then CNN

Mr_cheese12h ago

N4G owners are the worst for that.

One tweet or reddit comment = full blown article

Profchaos19h ago

The gaming landscape today is full of corporations trying to suck as much money out of us as possible while giving us as little as possible in return that's the biggest problem I see right now and the fact the journos should be the ones calling the gross practices out now suckle at the teat of the publishers to stay in favour and maintain working relationships to avoid being blacklisted for reviews and preview events show their interests do not align with ours.

HankHill19h ago

Consume the new product and don't ask any questions.

Christopher17h ago

Always question change, always seek out facts.

victorMaje16h ago

Hey Chris, not sure if others have already suggested but here’s another idea for N4G, a website trust meter.
There used to be a way to click on the website of an article and downvote or something like that.
It can be like Steam’s rating, all time & recent.
Then the list of journalism website ratings accessible from a subdomain, jowebrat.n4g dot com :)

SimpleDad13h ago

@victorMaje No, this site user opinions? NO. This is not how it works my Victor. Trust meter??? LOL.

User reviews... this is what you have to look for, because games are made for users... not journalists.
Even if something is review bombed... there has to be a reason, something is wrong and you should hold on with your hard earned money.

Game sites are pushing... what they need to push, or want to push, or both.
Yes always seek out facts, right on Chris.

victorMaje12h ago

@SimpleDad

Of course games are made for users. That’s the whole point. I already seek out facts. Check my comment history you’ll see how I always advise to check trusted user reviews & I don’t pre-order.

Some journalism sites however do have user reviews, they’re not all bad journalism, these would raise the trust score of the journalism website, other stories with an agenda or disingenuous reviews could lower it.
Why not have such a tool coming out of N4G? It would be the metacritic of journalism websites, voted by N4G users. That doesn’t mean one should stop from also seeking user reviews.

I have to disagree. Personally, I feel like DD2 still needs a lot of optimization. I really dislike games that try to sell a bunch of DLC when their game is still a mess.

Redgrave3d ago

This, RDR2, Bloodborne.... and of course, Life of Black Tiger.
