netflix streaming is a very good deal IMO (moreso now that the movie parties function exists)... and guess what? i can still buy a DVD of any movie i watch on streaming if i get a huge boner about having physical media to rip for that particular film.

why would anyone rip a DVD at 720p? it'd be like taking a 128k MP3 and "making it better" by reencoding at 320k. short of wasting space i can see no benefit to ripping a DVD at 720p. ]]>Jul 25th 2009 6:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/25/xbox-360s-new-netflix-movie-parties-disabled-for-starz-flicks/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/25/xbox-360s-new-netflix-movie-parties-disabled-for-starz-flicks/
I'm not really clear on how useful the synchronized movie-watching thing will be (everyone needs their own headsets? ookay)

But I am happy about the streaming on my 360, even though I've only used it a few times. Kudos to Microsoft for continuing to add new functionality to a product I already paid for :)]]>Jul 25th 2009 1:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/25/xbox-360s-new-netflix-movie-parties-disabled-for-starz-flicks/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/25/xbox-360s-new-netflix-movie-parties-disabled-for-starz-flicks/Jul 25th 2009 1:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/25/xbox-360s-new-netflix-movie-parties-disabled-for-starz-flicks/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/25/xbox-360s-new-netflix-movie-parties-disabled-for-starz-flicks/Jul 25th 2009 11:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/25/xbox-360s-new-netflix-movie-parties-disabled-for-starz-flicks/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/25/xbox-360s-new-netflix-movie-parties-disabled-for-starz-flicks/Jul 27th 2009 11:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/25/xbox-360s-new-netflix-movie-parties-disabled-for-starz-flicks/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/25/xbox-360s-new-netflix-movie-parties-disabled-for-starz-flicks/Jul 25th 2009 7:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/25/xbox-360s-new-netflix-movie-parties-disabled-for-starz-flicks/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/25/xbox-360s-new-netflix-movie-parties-disabled-for-starz-flicks/Jul 25th 2009 8:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/25/xbox-360s-new-netflix-movie-parties-disabled-for-starz-flicks/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/25/xbox-360s-new-netflix-movie-parties-disabled-for-starz-flicks/Jul 25th 2009 2:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/25/xbox-360s-new-netflix-movie-parties-disabled-for-starz-flicks/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/25/xbox-360s-new-netflix-movie-parties-disabled-for-starz-flicks/Jul 25th 2009 8:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/25/xbox-360s-new-netflix-movie-parties-disabled-for-starz-flicks/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/25/xbox-360s-new-netflix-movie-parties-disabled-for-starz-flicks/
I'd actually be pretty surprised if they hadn't extended this feature to video files off Live Marketplace eventually, kicking off by letting people watch that Halo anime online.]]>Jul 25th 2009 3:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/25/xbox-360s-new-netflix-movie-parties-disabled-for-starz-flicks/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/25/xbox-360s-new-netflix-movie-parties-disabled-for-starz-flicks/Jul 25th 2009 9:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/25/xbox-360s-new-netflix-movie-parties-disabled-for-starz-flicks/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/25/xbox-360s-new-netflix-movie-parties-disabled-for-starz-flicks/Jul 25th 2009 9:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/25/xbox-360s-new-netflix-movie-parties-disabled-for-starz-flicks/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/25/xbox-360s-new-netflix-movie-parties-disabled-for-starz-flicks/Jul 25th 2009 10:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/25/xbox-360s-new-netflix-movie-parties-disabled-for-starz-flicks/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/25/xbox-360s-new-netflix-movie-parties-disabled-for-starz-flicks/Jul 25th 2009 10:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/25/xbox-360s-new-netflix-movie-parties-disabled-for-starz-flicks/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/25/xbox-360s-new-netflix-movie-parties-disabled-for-starz-flicks/

Tried watching superbad the other day thinking, "it's been a year or so, they must have fixed the quality issues by now." Nope, still barely phone-quality.]]>Jul 25th 2009 11:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/25/xbox-360s-new-netflix-movie-parties-disabled-for-starz-flicks/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/25/xbox-360s-new-netflix-movie-parties-disabled-for-starz-flicks/Jul 25th 2009 11:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/25/xbox-360s-new-netflix-movie-parties-disabled-for-starz-flicks/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/25/xbox-360s-new-netflix-movie-parties-disabled-for-starz-flicks/Jul 25th 2009 12:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/25/xbox-360s-new-netflix-movie-parties-disabled-for-starz-flicks/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/25/xbox-360s-new-netflix-movie-parties-disabled-for-starz-flicks/Jul 25th 2009 2:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/25/xbox-360s-new-netflix-movie-parties-disabled-for-starz-flicks/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/25/xbox-360s-new-netflix-movie-parties-disabled-for-starz-flicks/Jul 27th 2009 12:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/25/xbox-360s-new-netflix-movie-parties-disabled-for-starz-flicks/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/25/xbox-360s-new-netflix-movie-parties-disabled-for-starz-flicks/Jul 25th 2009 12:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/25/xbox-360s-new-netflix-movie-parties-disabled-for-starz-flicks/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/25/xbox-360s-new-netflix-movie-parties-disabled-for-starz-flicks/

The two movies that they couldn't play were rated R. The two that they could were 'NR' and...presumably 'TV-14'.

T.V. party tonight!
T.V. party tonight!

We're gonna have a T.V. party tonight!

Alright!

We're gonna have a T.V. party alright!

Tonight!

We've got nothing better to do
Than watch T.V. and have a couple of brews

All our friends are gonna hang out here tonight

Alright!

We're gonna pass out on the couch alright

Tonight!

We've got nothing better to do
Than watch T.V. and have a couple of brews

Don't talk about anything else
We don't wanna know!
We're dedicated
To our favorite shows!

We sit glued to the T.V. set all night
And every night!
Why go into the outside world at all?
It's such a fright!

We've got nothing better to do
Than watch T.V. and have a couple of brews

T.V. news shows what it's really like out there
It's a scare!

You can go out if you want
We wouldn't dare!

We've got nothing better to do
Than watch T.V. and have a couple of brews

Don't talk about anything else
We don't wanna know!
We're dedicated
To our favorite shows!

I wouldn't be without my T.V. for a day
Or even a minute!

Don't even bother to use my brain anymore
There's nothing left in it!

We've got nothing better to do
Than watch T.V. and have a couple of brews

Wait a minute! My T.V. set doesn't work!
It's broken!
What are we gonna do tonight? This isn't fair!
We're hurtin'

We've got nothing left to do
With no T.V. and just a couple of brews

What are we gonna talk about?
I don't know!
We're gonna miss our favorite shows!
NO T.V. PARTY TONIGHT!"]]>Jul 27th 2009 11:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/25/xbox-360s-new-netflix-movie-parties-disabled-for-starz-flicks/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/25/xbox-360s-new-netflix-movie-parties-disabled-for-starz-flicks/Jul 29th 2009 12:32AM
