Also, don't you need XBOX LIVE GOLD....to stream movies? ]]>Dec 2nd 2008 10:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/new-xbox-arcade-units-to-pack-256mb-internal-storage/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/new-xbox-arcade-units-to-pack-256mb-internal-storage/
If that's true, that is the lamest bullshit I've ever heard of. You can be sure if this feature lands on the PS3, it won't require any extraneous subscriptions. If I have a Netflix account, I should be able to stream for free, period.

Wait, I'm getting all worked up and don't even know if it's true. Someone confirm this?]]>Dec 2nd 2008 11:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/new-xbox-arcade-units-to-pack-256mb-internal-storage/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/new-xbox-arcade-units-to-pack-256mb-internal-storage/

I can only imagine this will allow streaming for live viewing and not through queued-storage for time-shifting behavior. I think Microsoft needs to market the cheapest non-Arcade version of the 360 (the one with the 20GB hard drive) as the Netflix 360 package and stop trying to milk the poorest of 360 owners.]]>Dec 3rd 2008 7:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/new-xbox-arcade-units-to-pack-256mb-internal-storage/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/new-xbox-arcade-units-to-pack-256mb-internal-storage/

No need for either, just a gold Subscription. If your hooking up to a HDTV, and want to watch HD content also, then a cheap $5 HDMI cable and your set.

See, MS keeps adding features to the XBox while keeping prices the same or lowering them. Adding HDMI, Larger Hard Drive, Larger Internal Memory and not loosing a thing!! Sony keeps cutting out features. Memory Card ports, Backwards compatibility (Hardware and then software) what else.

You must be thinking Sony.

You can use any Xbox DLC you have purchased on any 360 console when you are logged into Live.

You can transfer the DLC with a memory card if you don't want to wait, or you can re-download it to ther other console to play. What you purchase gets tied to your Live ID and the licenses will follow you around.
