360's lack of Sony Pictures films streaming on Netflix 'unrelated' to competition Posted by XanTium | November 21 00:26 EST | News Category: Xbox360

From engadget.com: [QUOTE] You probably recall that two days ago, when the new Xbox Experience launched, sadly, about 300 Sony Pictures films were unavailable for Netflix Watch Instantly on NXE. According to a Sony spokesperson, the problem isn't specific to the Xbox, nor is their beef competition-related in any way. Sony also says it is in talks with the several "relevant parties" to work out these vague licensing issues, though there was no word on when the issue would be resolved.

meh... I could care less... just want some answers on it all. Everyone is being to vague about it

[eenu]

I smell bullshit.

I smell bullshit.

LOL me too.
Sony don't want to admit how pathetic they are.

[MaulerX]

What I wanna know is:

I pay Netflix for a service, to stream movies to my computer, and to the Netflix streaming box
(or whatever its called). All is OK. Yet, even thou the 360 is yet another "streaming box", just another
device to use the Netflix service, these movies have to be licenced to run on the 360??

It just does not make sense.

[keystroke]

it's just Sony being ridiculous and not wanting Microsoft to have something better than them.

[Heet]

Give me a break. So laughable on so many levels.




Here's to a small penis and a huge ego

If you could care less they why do you even need answers to anything?

[mickmania]

Just one day before NXE update sony has "vague licensing issues" lol bullshit

Guys grow up they said licensing issues from day 1. It's a plausible reason for some movies to not be allowed to be played. The same reason other countries can't buy videos from the marketplace is also licensing problems.

The only reason it would be plausible is that they have a separate license for every single Netflix compatible device. If that were true there probably are hundreds of licenses between all of the movie producers for every single Netflix device. I still want to know how this wasn't a problem for any one else, and how it took over a year for this licensing issue to crop up. Remember they did play on the 360 initially.

[iceman72]
