Sony Pictures celebrates NXE eve by...blocking Xbox 360 Netflix movie streaming
Engadget — ... time causing a few hundred titles to be "temporarily" unavailable on the console, while still open for streaming for other devices, with an eye towards licensing them for the Xbox 360 soon. There's no way to know what movies won't work until adding them to your queue, so when you find your Karate Kid trilogy watching time suddenly wide open for more Gears of War 2 or Left 4 Dead action, just remember you have Sony to thank. [Via Joystiq & Multiplayer] Sony Pictures celebrates NXE eve by...blocking Xbox 360 Netflix movie ...

Xbox 360 NXE launches today, Sony Movies not streaming via Netflix
I4U News — ... This limitation causes you to miss out on watching movies like Superbad and We Own The Night. There is no word yet from Netflix when Sony will grant the license for their content to be streamed onto the Xbox 360. This is of course not a sustainable situation for users. There is no sense for Sony to block their content on the long run. This will not help PS3 sales, just because Sony movies do not stream on the Xbox 360 now. More details on this interesting developing little war on MTV . See also the Microsoft NXE ...

Netflix Xbox 360 streaming suffers Sony Pictures pull-out
SlashGear — ... According to Netflix corp. communications VP Steve Swasey, the licencing issue is part of the “natural ebb and flow” of ever-changing deals between studios.  Considering the Xbox 360 is a prime competitor to Sony’s PS3 console, this particular case of ebb and flow does look a whole lot more like Sony dumping waste in the water supply to sour the NXE launch. ...

Sony’s Columbia Picture flicks not available on NXE Netflix streaming
CrunchGear — ... but it will take some time before we fully achieve that goal. 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. It’s funny how only Sony Columbia pictures are the only movies with this issue. If it was licensing issues, one would think that the studio had ample time to file the appropriate paperwork. So once again, bull. More as we get it. Joystiq & MTV Multiplayer Blog

10 dos and don't for upgrading your Xbox 360
DVICE Atom Feed — ... affordable, and generous way to stream a library of high definition content into your house. But you need a Netflix account on top of your paid Xbox Live subscription. However, I can only speak to the theoretical application of this. Right now, as of two hours after the launch of the service, it's not working and the official advice I got from Netflix's tech support an hour ago was "We're recommending you wait and try again in a half hour". And even if it were working, it looks like Sony will block their movies from being viewable over an Xbox 360. It's going to get a whole lot ...

Netflix Speaks about Xbox 360 and Sony Movies
PR News: — ... Netflix VP of corporate communications Steve Swasey told MTV Multiplayer that they hope this problem will be sorted soon, but stated that Sony’s movies are still viewable on other Netflix enabled devices such as PCs and Macs. Until Sony and Microsoft become friends, it’s unlikely that these titles will be viewable on the Xbox 360, so viewers will just have to wait and see what happens, and if Microsoft can agree some sort of licensing deal with Sony.
