said by ExecPro:With the recent announcements of Netflix for PS3 and Wii, this really negatively impacts Xbox because I know as an Xbox owner, I didn't take advantage of this service because you have to have Xbox Gold subscription. As far as I can tell you only need Netflix account for the PS3 and Wii - so when are they going to open up the service to all Xbox users?
They won't that's not MS way. The money yo gave for the console and the games isn't enough. You're required to get special memberships to play games or get added features. You get half produced games which require you to pony up for an "expansion packs". If you need a wireless connection a wi-fi add-on is $100. For a system that likes to brag about it's online gaming it's curious as to why the make it difficult to actually play online. If you want portable game saves can you save them to a 2 GB USB thumb drive you can get for less than $10 like you can with the PS3? Nope. You have to spend $50 for a 512 MB memory card. If you need more HDD space you have to buy a proprietary HDD from MS which is $150 for 120 GB. For the same price you can simply get a laptop HDD and put that in your PS3. And for $150 you can get one that's at least 320 GB.
