NXE / Netflix Update

Major Nelson writes:

"We hope your're enjoying the New Xbox Experience. As expected, Netflix on Xbox 360 is a huge success, with the LIVE community flocking to this portion of the New Xbox Experience. Some of you may have had a few challenges earlier today but I wanted to let you know they've been resolved."

It would help if they list the issue(s) they supposedly resolved. :/

SacT0wnF1n3st5638d ago

Earlier today you couldn't activate Netflix that is one problem that I know of.

pp5639d ago

Awesome major we can always count on you to resolve the problem. Over and Out PP.

psycho3605638d ago

8 disagrees PP? What did you do to offend the fanbois of the other side with this comment? I guess jealousy is running ripe in the SDF. Waiting for home or maybe KZ2 to give them something worthwhile.

drdistracto7075638d ago

I dont care what you say anymore pp, i just disagree anyway out of spite

INehalemEXI5638d ago

I appreciate this feature its nice to just boot up the 360 instead of the PC if I want to watch some netflix. Its better quality then streaming via a 3rd party program too. I'm not mad if you gots to work out some kinks.

hamburgerhill5638d ago

So does this mean I can play movies through my 360 onto my tv or does this mean i can stream movies to my pc?

GiantEnemyCrab5638d ago

You can stream Netflix movies thru your 360 to your TV.

Spydiggity5638d ago (Edited 5638d ago )

this is the first thing in a while that has actually lived up to what they said they were gonna do. i mean everyone, by the way, not just microsoft. most of the games this year have been a little disappointing (sept fallout 3 (GOTY)). home keeps getting delayed. and so on.

i tried the netflix and it works exactly the same way it works for pc (except you have to still queue the movies through your PC), but it's nice watching it on the TV instead. is it true that they are going to add HD streaming through netflix?

OOG5638d ago

thats the goal....but duno how long it will take prob in a year we might see the hd stream....or if they see netflix being streamed a lot....but ya never know could be longer......big step in the right direction tho

Spydiggity5638d ago

i just checked and you can stream certain movies now in HD.

sonyfanboys are still bashig the NXE in xbox.com forums?

EDIT: blademask you don't know s***, you can create a gamertag or id in xbox.com without your console id. you only need a windows live account.

Blademask5638d ago

There are problems, just like all new online services. Kudos to Major nelson for being on top of it as always.

Halo 4 UNSC Weapons, Vehicles, And Mechs

We've previously seen what we can take off the Prometheans, but what will Master Chief's backup be bringing to the fight in Halo 4?
Quite a lot of old favorites, as well as some new vehicles and an old enemy.

2012: COD Black Ops 2, A New Xbox & More

360 Magazine: Call Of Duty Black Ops 2, the XBox 720, the end of the console as we know it and crucial future gaming developments.

You mean 'Activision Presents: Man With Gun 2012, Starring Denzel Washington'.

Also, the new Xbox will be called the Ybox. You heard it here first.

jimmins4534d ago

More like Activision presents: one long cut-scene in which 'press X for controversial torture' comes up intermittently.

Biglet4534d ago

I expect Reservoir Dogs next time.

Skip_Bayless4534d ago

This is about Mass Effect 3. I always liked the series for its technical side and the dialogue trees. I never really liked the setting, the story, or the characters.

Other than the snow level in Mass Effect 1 and Wrex there's no memorable things really. Mass Effect 3 is going to be out on maxed out consoles so no technical or graphical leap there. Count me out on this game.

This being said Mass Effect 1 is a top 10 game this generation.

_Aarix_4534d ago

if that were true the xbox 360 would be Y box and the next generation xbox would be Z box.

DaveX3604534d ago

But what would the one after that be called?

irepbtown4534d ago

They probably think the world will end after that.
I mean, Lynx have made a 'end of the world'edition deodorant.

When we are here 2013 all and well, i'll be playing some GTA V.

joab7774534d ago (Edited 4534d ago )

They should go straight for inox or soon there will only b one console that's more powerful than any PC and it will b made by apple. It will incorporate everything apple and they will rule the world. So its better to simply release the Ibox and prevent future world domination.

As far as cod and black ops r concerned, it will sell 10 million copies on day 1, 8 million paid for by r government as unemployment will b 14%. There wont b a new console in 2012 because activision says so. They aren't done yet and until they r forced to use some ingenuity, expect the status quo. Why invest more $ right now if ppl will fork over their last penny to u for a rehash. So, as cod goes, so goes consoles and PC's as they will b held back.

Star wars will release and sell many copies just like battlefield did, but everyone will return to wow because activision obviously has the best games and the most talented warlocks casting spells on their products. Ppl wont know why but swtor just wont feel right. Everyone will say that its a better game and its fresh and many hardcore players will b converted but the masses will nitpick things like hotkeys and menu animations to declare wow as the enduring king of mmorpgs...and then the next expansion will release and swtor will go free to play.

On November 3rd we will wake to see if we get 4 more years of misery or a Republican (what a choice...no hope or maybe some actual hope with alot of immediate suffering). But to r surprise, we will c that Bobby kotick is president and EA is under federal investigation. And then 7 days later...the cod cycle begins again.

It starts over...

funny article
all i read was the first part where it says

1.January 2012
Industry analyst Michael Pachter says that another Call Of Duty game will be announced this year and that it will sell “lots of copies”. He also states with unsual specificity that an asteroid 100Km wide at its thickest point will veer from its predicted trajectory and on 12 December at 0043:29, it will smash into the South Pacific Ocean near Easter Island and cause the extinction of nearly all species on Earth, including 98% of the human population.

i was like what?

caseh4534d ago

Personally I like Pachter's CoD predictions, its the only f*cking thing he seems to get right. :D

CarlosX3604533d ago

Um. I'm like "Doh!" Of course they'll make a new call of duty game next year. It's already codenamed Iron Wolf.

Berserk4534d ago

Man imagine the sales... New xbox bundled with Black ops 2.

DARK WITNESS4534d ago (Edited 4534d ago )

We already got Black ops 2, it's MW3.. oh wait no, sorry.

To be honest though, my pet parrot Baba could have predicted that.

ZippyZapper4534d ago

Doesn't Black Ops take place during Vietnam? That isn't exactly what I would call modern warefare since it's 40 years old.

DARK WITNESS4534d ago

@ ZippyZapper

lol, I think you are taking my comment to seriously.

CarlosX3604533d ago (Edited 4533d ago )

I don't believe the next Call of Duty game will be called "Black Ops 2." Treyarch has a habit of changing names with their games.

World At War and Black Ops are different names. Iron Wolf may be a code name, but I believe the next game in the series will be different.

Aloren4533d ago

World at War didn't sell like black ops did. I wouldn't be surprised if they tried to capitalize on the "Black ops" name.

Extraordinary Rendition DLC, innit.

Wikkid6664534d ago

I actually laughed quit a few times... very amusing.

MidnytRain4534d ago

That's right, this IS the ninth CoD isn't it...

I wonder how long they can keep this up.

SnipeySnake4534d ago

Till people start using their brains....

IaMs124533d ago

Well, we'll be seeing a lot more COD then....

AmaZinG4534d ago

Actually Black Ops had more innovation than Mw3, altough i like Mw series gameplay, maps and guns better i have to admit when it comes to innnovation Treyarch is winning the fight over IW. The emblems customization, the weapons customization and alot more were awesome additions to Cod that IW didnt put in Mw3... I wonder why

Dailynch4534d ago

Black Ops' campaign really wasn't that good. The original Modern Warfare is still the best, by far.

PetitPiPi4534d ago

MW3's campaign kills the original MW. Have you played it? Probably not. smh.

Majin-vegeta4534d ago

@petitpipi

No it doesn't MW3 story is a joke cod4 story is still by far the best MW story.

lsujester4534d ago

MW3's campaign doesn't kill anything, unless you bought the game for SP, then you probably killed yourself.

PetitPiPi4534d ago (Edited 4534d ago )

@ Isujester

I bought the game for SP, MP & Spec Ops. Why else would I buy the game? What a stupid comment on your part.

@ Vag

MW3's story is a joke? And you call yourself a gamer? lmao! PLEASE send me over your GT or PSN id. I need to see the games you've played.

Laxman4533d ago

MW is the best MW game, but CoD 2 is the best CoD.

jdfoster4534d ago

I agree 100%. Though arn't you sick of buying a game with no new modes in at all (multiplayer wise) BLOPS had no new game modes in competitive multiplayer and mw3 only had 3 new ones!! But I agree with the innovation side and I enjoy the maps more in IW games but I do hate the maps in MW3! I do... i try and enjoy them but I can't. I liked the crisp, clean look of cod 4 and mw2 maps to the look and feel of mw3. I also loved every map in cod 5! But hated every map in BLOPS!

DARK WITNESS4534d ago

I am not really defending Blops of poo, I hate the game, but I am sure it had 1 or 2 new game modes.

You had the one were you start with a single weapon and every time you kill someone it would randomly change to something else.. or something like that.

I took blops back to the shop after about 4 weeks or so, so thats why I can hardly remember it but I know it had one or two new modes.

Grendizer4533d ago

cod4:MW has been,currently is, and will probably always be my favorite cod game

even to this day i go on and play it every now and then.
