wow, for the second time:
Instant Watch is a feature you get with your netflix subscription. It will integrated into the XBL experience. They will not charge per movie or per month. If you already have NF and an xbox360, you should be good to go.
@everyone who, apparently, doesn't understand how instant watch works on NF.
It's included in your NF subscription. I'm almost certain you won't have to have a gold subscription to use it through your xbox.
IW is merely a service NF provides. Of the entire NF catalog, only about 10000 movies are available on IW, none of them in HD, and they're streaming. I don't know the technology, but even on my wireless laptop, I've never had any interruptions and the movies st...
They can charge all they want, but no one will use this.
I haven't bought any themes or gamerpics, and i sure as hell am not spending money dressing up a pretend person.
Given, I'll probably make one, and so will my wife, but I'm not spending dime one on this feature. Bring on the netflix integration.
yup, this is insanely lame.
I have no idea who will actually use this.
Unless I can kill Locust with my avatar, I have no use for it.
I am so psyched for this.
If you don't have NF yet, I'd get it. My wife and I use and abuse it all the time. We're spending way less than we would be renting in-store from blockbuster.
One warning about the IW (instant watch). It's not the whole NF catalog. It's only about 10000 movies, but it gets bigger every week.
If you've been considering an xbox 360, wait a month or so to get a better price or deal. If you've been considering NF, wait unti...
Exclusivity doesn't matter much to me (i've got both systems), but Portal was an awesome game. One of the few games my wife actually enjoyed watching me play...
This is the big reveal?
Why do I need a mii? Can I go around blasting the flood with my avatar? Can I join captain shepherd on a mission with my avatar? Can I kill locusts with my mii? Certainly not.
I don't understand the purpose of this at all. I never had a problem with the dashboard, so I don't care much about that either.
No netflix announcement? I was really, really hoping for that. Oh well... There's always next year.

They don't have ANYTHING on Sony? They do have Halo...
I agree with the article. It's really nice to see Nintendo trying to fix it's motion controls, but who cares as long as every game just uses gestures?
That's nice that nintendo is trying to improve their motion detection, except that no games actually use real motion detection, so this whole thing is pretty useless.
I guess I can very, very accurately twist my bat prior to each swing in wii baseball, now.
On to more ninjabread man...
They decreased the price of the iphone, but increased the price of the REQUIRED data and voice services so you actually end up paying MORE over the life of your contract.
More shady tactics from Apple...
Respect to all the people who still think that they'll be able to chart up 'Stairway to Heaven' and distribute it over XBL.
Have fun making up songs to share with other GHWT players.
Although, I'll still be buying it if I can use my RB peripherals.
Except ions are really crappy, uber-entry level edrum kits. People are looking at this like 'freakin sweet, an edrum kit,' except ions usually crap out just as quickly as the RB1 drums.
Plus drum brains can be $100-300 and an amplifier is $100-300, making this as expensive as a nice edrum kit or a regular set of acoustic drums.
On the whole you're really just getting a crazy expensive game-specific controller or a really crappy edrum set. Definitely a lose-lose sit...
LOL, why the hell would they do that? If they can drag out the litigation process, then settle outside of court, or, better yet, win the case, why would they pay up now?
Kon:Hey, your guitar looks a little like ours.
HMX:yeah.
Kon:Now that you're way more popular than we ever were with the same idea, give us some money...
HMX:LOL, nope.
Worse sentence ever -
"but you wont be singing your tunes downloaded off your PS3 system just yet but instead later in the not too distant future."
That's about the most redundant, repetitive sentence I have ever seen in my entire life. /note sarcasm...
lol, yeah dude, you might as well just buy an electronic drum set and play that along with the radio. Wouldn't you already have all that stuff if you're a drummer anyway?
hahaha, posers and losers. Except every one of my friends who has ever been over and played rock band has loved it. Maybe I should play local multiplayer on GTA4, oh wait, I can't. No wonder I'm such a poser.
yeah, that's called 1:1 motion. I doubt many wii games will ever have it. Wii gets pretty old once you realize that every game just uses gestures. Wii tennis is pretty lame now when you think about it.
Wow, we get it. Some 360s get RROD. I personally haven't gotten it, although I've been through 2 360s. I brought them both back to best buy and got new ones, no big deal.
I've got my ps3, luckily 2.4 hasn't bricked my console yet.
Every system has problems, regardless.
edit - sorry I misread the title...

No, it's not that much of a chore, but I've got this instant watch feature that I've never been able to use because I don't want to sit in front of my computer and watch a movie. Now I'll be able to stream movies to my TV through my netflix service.
