Besides, who cares about all this, PS3 can easily stream any Netflix movie with the PlayOn media server right now, I use it all the time when I'm not gaming or playing Blu-rays on it (much better quality than anything else anyway).]]>Nov 18th 2008 11:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/sony-pictures-celebrates-nxe-eve-by-blocking-xbox-360-netflix/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/sony-pictures-celebrates-nxe-eve-by-blocking-xbox-360-netflix/
So then is Sony being childish keeping R2, LBP, MGS, GT5P, Ratchet, Uncharted, and Heavenly Sword (or others from 3rd party studios) exclusive to the PS3? What about those HD movies from Sony Pictures or Columbia that were BD exclusive and not released on HD DVD, was that childish? Or how about having Fox, Disney, etc. being exclusive to BD?]]>Nov 18th 2008 11:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/sony-pictures-celebrates-nxe-eve-by-blocking-xbox-360-netflix/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/sony-pictures-celebrates-nxe-eve-by-blocking-xbox-360-netflix/Nov 19th 2008 12:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/sony-pictures-celebrates-nxe-eve-by-blocking-xbox-360-netflix/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/sony-pictures-celebrates-nxe-eve-by-blocking-xbox-360-netflix/Nov 19th 2008 1:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/sony-pictures-celebrates-nxe-eve-by-blocking-xbox-360-netflix/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/sony-pictures-celebrates-nxe-eve-by-blocking-xbox-360-netflix/

Only moves from Columbia Pictures are offline. Why aren't the other movies from Sony labels offline? Oh wait, it's because "Today, titles regularly come in and out of license and there is a natural ebb and flow to what we have on license at any given point in time."]]>Nov 19th 2008 8:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/sony-pictures-celebrates-nxe-eve-by-blocking-xbox-360-netflix/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/sony-pictures-celebrates-nxe-eve-by-blocking-xbox-360-netflix/Nov 19th 2008 9:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/sony-pictures-celebrates-nxe-eve-by-blocking-xbox-360-netflix/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/sony-pictures-celebrates-nxe-eve-by-blocking-xbox-360-netflix/Nov 19th 2008 9:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/sony-pictures-celebrates-nxe-eve-by-blocking-xbox-360-netflix/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/sony-pictures-celebrates-nxe-eve-by-blocking-xbox-360-netflix/Nov 19th 2008 9:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/sony-pictures-celebrates-nxe-eve-by-blocking-xbox-360-netflix/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/sony-pictures-celebrates-nxe-eve-by-blocking-xbox-360-netflix/
@cool8man - I'm also intrigued by how they could hold such power. A 360 is a computer, why would Netflix ever have negotiated terms that involved the 360 licensing being separate than the PC licensing? I have a feeling that Sony probably had something to do with that, but then again, I don't want to make an accusation without even a sliver of supporting evidence.]]>Nov 19th 2008 10:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/sony-pictures-celebrates-nxe-eve-by-blocking-xbox-360-netflix/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/sony-pictures-celebrates-nxe-eve-by-blocking-xbox-360-netflix/360 and PC are not the only NetFlix streaming devices. Since these streaming films are still available to the Roku Netflix Player, apparently there is fine grained access control available, allowing for individual devices to be blocked on a per-movie basis.]]>Nov 19th 2008 11:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/sony-pictures-celebrates-nxe-eve-by-blocking-xbox-360-netflix/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/sony-pictures-celebrates-nxe-eve-by-blocking-xbox-360-netflix/mailto:consumer@SPHECustomerSupport.sony.com

I figured these actions full under the contact of "For problems with Sony Pictures Home Entertainment products please email"

Yeah, my problem is that you entertainment products were pulled from Netflix streaming on the 360.]]>Nov 19th 2008 12:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/sony-pictures-celebrates-nxe-eve-by-blocking-xbox-360-netflix/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/sony-pictures-celebrates-nxe-eve-by-blocking-xbox-360-netflix/Nov 19th 2008 4:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/sony-pictures-celebrates-nxe-eve-by-blocking-xbox-360-netflix/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/sony-pictures-celebrates-nxe-eve-by-blocking-xbox-360-netflix/Nov 18th 2008 10:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/sony-pictures-celebrates-nxe-eve-by-blocking-xbox-360-netflix/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/sony-pictures-celebrates-nxe-eve-by-blocking-xbox-360-netflix/Nov 18th 2008 11:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/sony-pictures-celebrates-nxe-eve-by-blocking-xbox-360-netflix/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/sony-pictures-celebrates-nxe-eve-by-blocking-xbox-360-netflix/Nov 19th 2008 12:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/sony-pictures-celebrates-nxe-eve-by-blocking-xbox-360-netflix/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/sony-pictures-celebrates-nxe-eve-by-blocking-xbox-360-netflix/

I hope for Sony's sake this isn't console war related. If it is, they're in trouble, and lost potential revenues aren't even the start of it.]]>Nov 19th 2008 2:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/sony-pictures-celebrates-nxe-eve-by-blocking-xbox-360-netflix/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/sony-pictures-celebrates-nxe-eve-by-blocking-xbox-360-netflix/
Seriously, I will not buy anything Sony at all until this is resolved. What a bunch of whiny babies. Why not... um, I dont know... put the customer first.

RB2 and GHWT had to settle it and make instruments cross compatible because it was best for us, now get over yourself Sony.]]>Nov 19th 2008 1:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/sony-pictures-celebrates-nxe-eve-by-blocking-xbox-360-netflix/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/sony-pictures-celebrates-nxe-eve-by-blocking-xbox-360-netflix/Nov 18th 2008 10:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/sony-pictures-celebrates-nxe-eve-by-blocking-xbox-360-netflix/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/sony-pictures-celebrates-nxe-eve-by-blocking-xbox-360-netflix/Nov 18th 2008 10:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/sony-pictures-celebrates-nxe-eve-by-blocking-xbox-360-netflix/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/sony-pictures-celebrates-nxe-eve-by-blocking-xbox-360-netflix/Nov 18th 2008 11:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/sony-pictures-celebrates-nxe-eve-by-blocking-xbox-360-netflix/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/sony-pictures-celebrates-nxe-eve-by-blocking-xbox-360-netflix/Nov 19th 2008 5:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/sony-pictures-celebrates-nxe-eve-by-blocking-xbox-360-netflix/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/sony-pictures-celebrates-nxe-eve-by-blocking-xbox-360-netflix/Nov 19th 2008 8:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/sony-pictures-celebrates-nxe-eve-by-blocking-xbox-360-netflix/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/sony-pictures-celebrates-nxe-eve-by-blocking-xbox-360-netflix/Nov 18th 2008 10:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/sony-pictures-celebrates-nxe-eve-by-blocking-xbox-360-netflix/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/sony-pictures-celebrates-nxe-eve-by-blocking-xbox-360-netflix/Nov 18th 2008 10:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/sony-pictures-celebrates-nxe-eve-by-blocking-xbox-360-netflix/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/sony-pictures-celebrates-nxe-eve-by-blocking-xbox-360-netflix/Nov 18th 2008 11:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/sony-pictures-celebrates-nxe-eve-by-blocking-xbox-360-netflix/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/sony-pictures-celebrates-nxe-eve-by-blocking-xbox-360-netflix/Nov 18th 2008 10:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/sony-pictures-celebrates-nxe-eve-by-blocking-xbox-360-netflix/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/sony-pictures-celebrates-nxe-eve-by-blocking-xbox-360-netflix/Nov 18th 2008 10:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/sony-pictures-celebrates-nxe-eve-by-blocking-xbox-360-netflix/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/sony-pictures-celebrates-nxe-eve-by-blocking-xbox-360-netflix/Nov 18th 2008 10:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/sony-pictures-celebrates-nxe-eve-by-blocking-xbox-360-netflix/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/sony-pictures-celebrates-nxe-eve-by-blocking-xbox-360-netflix/Nov 18th 2008 10:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/sony-pictures-celebrates-nxe-eve-by-blocking-xbox-360-netflix/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/sony-pictures-celebrates-nxe-eve-by-blocking-xbox-360-netflix/Nov 18th 2008 11:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/sony-pictures-celebrates-nxe-eve-by-blocking-xbox-360-netflix/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/sony-pictures-celebrates-nxe-eve-by-blocking-xbox-360-netflix/
Ever heard of Windows? It comes pre-installed on virtually every Sony computer for sale. One company starts hitting the stop button here and there, and then the other one does too.

I can see it now, in Ballmer's office, "So they don't want us playing there movies, lets see how fast those computers move off the shelf with invalid Windows licenses. And if I remember correctly, I think they are building some phones with Windows Mobile, not anymore! While we're at it, lets break BD drivers in Windows... maybe Jobs was on to something after all! Hahahaha, I've been waiting years to do this, thank god they gave me a reason!"]]>Nov 19th 2008 3:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/sony-pictures-celebrates-nxe-eve-by-blocking-xbox-360-netflix/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/sony-pictures-celebrates-nxe-eve-by-blocking-xbox-360-netflix/Nov 19th 2008 8:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/sony-pictures-celebrates-nxe-eve-by-blocking-xbox-360-netflix/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/sony-pictures-celebrates-nxe-eve-by-blocking-xbox-360-netflix/Do you really think Apple would start licensing OS X and give up their hardware mark-up cash cow for Sony? If they did, Apple would price OS X at a very pretty penny, in which case Sony computer's would cost more then Apple's.

Linux is still too niche for Sony to adopt as a consumer OS.

I'm not an MS fanboy, just stating the facts.]]>Nov 19th 2008 9:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/sony-pictures-celebrates-nxe-eve-by-blocking-xbox-360-netflix/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/sony-pictures-celebrates-nxe-eve-by-blocking-xbox-360-netflix/
Suddenly, Sony has to tell its customers it can no longer sell Windows, which all of its customers use, and that all current keys handed to Sony can no longer activate or validate with WGA. I'm sure that makes perfect sense. Absolutely. Perfect. Sense.

Right.
