Comments on: Some Sony films return to Netflix-Xbox service

Apparently Sony and Netflix have solved some of their licensing issues. There's no word yet on when all of Sony's films will return to Xbox.

So not only do you just license the titles but you also have to register the type of device it will be on? Sony = Stifling Enterprise, Growth and Ideas once again.

CNET Get topic update notification. This current system stinks!

The fact that each device has to licensed individually (Like the Xbox)probably has to do with DRM conditions Studios are placing on streaming the video more than Sony trying to stick it to a competitor. It is ridiculous that the lawyers at Netflix didn't see coming before hand considering the amount of time they had before Microsoft distributed the update.

Sure but Sony gets a bad rep if it doesn't get fixed.

Answer to your big question "Sony was trying to stick it to rival Microsoft."

Great, so you can watch a Sony movie on a freeking Xbox, but not on a PS3.
You can't even view a Flash movie on the PS3. Heck, you can't even view half the web pages out there because of low memory and no virtual memory or swap file.
Although I will nevey buy an Xbox because I refuse to pay to play games I have already purchased, I'm STILL left wondering: Why did I buy a PS3 again? I should have just bought a blueray player.
