MANIA FIRST LOOK- Are You Xbox Experienced? - Nov 22, 2008 - 07:16am
Oh yeah, Hanso, they have new titles on the 360 but you have to BUY them from microsoft using their stupid point system. They are there for you to view in HD if you prefer. Just not on the Netflix part. Yet. I'm sure that will change though. But they really need to put some of the better older movies on Netflix. I was really looking forward to the Netflix part of NXE. I didn't have a Netflix account until I read that they were including it. I was hoping to rewatch movies that I loved as a kid. And there are a few that are there. "The Ice Pirates" and "Superman the Movie" are a couple of examples of movies that I loved as a kid that ARE available for streaming. But other classics like "Sword and the Sorceror" are not available even to have sent to your home via snail mail on dvd. Do enjoy the feature for some of the children's movies that my kids like to watch. I don't have to buy for them to watch it over and over and I don't have to worry about late fees either. So in that aspect, It's a very big PLUS!!! Am too old to really care about the avatar part. All looks a little gay to me. Tried to make mine look like nosferatu. That didn't work too well. One of my friends asked why I was using a Monopoly game piece for my avatar. But the HD part, saving games to it, is great. As for PS3's online service being free, well, you get what you pay for. Free = Sucks.

I have a netflix account and I love the fact that I can watch a movie anytime I want as long as it's on netflix. They just need to update the list of old movies that they carry. I also put Oblivion on my harddrive last night (120 gig HD) and it's a great feature to have. As for Sony, they suck anyway and have always thought so. All you have to do is look at their online service for the PS3 and you will see one of the reasons that I make that statement.

Okay, Rob... I don't know if it's just my browser, which it might be, But the way this is set up, I can only read the text on TWO of these teaser posters.
