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?"
Backward compatibility works for many games on newer consoles, but titles such as The Simpsons: Hit and Run have been left out.
From base building to swinging willies, here are the best survival games around, which include a couple of less than obvious picks.
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.
They're scum.
"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."
Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.
Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.
But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?
Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.
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
We're Going Blu-ray

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.
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...
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.
sounds too good to be true
