X-Box's YouTube Better then PS3's youtube in video quality, at least this one is in HD, even if it has a horrible UI. Its great for those who don't have Laptops/computers hooked up to their TV's.
they shouldn't even be locked in the first place.
Finally. I don't really use my xbox for online play, I typically play online on my pc, so I never buy gold. Now I can put my ps3 back in my den and have my xbox for netflix in the living room.

[QUOTE=SomeDumbShit;35611707]For 4 days.[/QUOTE] Wow, guess I won't be moving any consoles around.
Most of these features aren't even available in Estonia :v:
You have to pay for gold to use third party apps? Seems fucking stupid to me. (especially stuff like netflix)
[quote]The promotion ends on Monday, April 23rd[/quote] The promotion ends? Can someone tell me why it isn't staying that way? And why it hasn't been free in the first place?
It's only being unlocked for this weekend. [quote]So what if you're not willing to shell out $60 a year for Gold services? Microsoft is hoping to change your mind with its new "Entertainment Unlocked" promotion.[/quote] [quote]The promotion ends on Monday, April 23rd[/quote]
[QUOTE=Swiket;35613354]It's only being unlocked for this weekend.[/QUOTE] Most redundant load of shit I've seen in the news all week.
It's kinda bullshit, You have to play 8$ a month for Netflix than another 5$ a month (60$ a year) To watch netflix on your Xbox, Not worth the extra money
And this is why consoles are dumb.
oh cool now my xbox has some use agai- [QUOTE]The promotion ends on Monday, April 23rd[/QUOTE] holy ass fuck off microsoft
[QUOTE=Woovie;35614676]And this is why consoles are dumb.[/QUOTE] This is why Microsoft is dumb, Netflix access and such is free on the PS3 (except the Netflix subscription fee obviously).

I mean that apps can restrict you. PSN has limitations unless you buy + or whatever. I just mean that if you use a console for media playback from the internet, you're begging to get screwed over really. Best bet is either Google TV, HTPC, or your desktop.
[QUOTE=Flon22;35612971]You have to pay for gold to use third party apps? Seems fucking stupid to me. (especially stuff like netflix)[/QUOTE] Yeah, it's dumb. Even just updating your Twitter from the Xbox requires gold. Funny to see how little we have here in Denmark, compared to US.
I have no idea why this stuff is restricted to gold accounts, it's not like you're paying to support servers or such since this stuff is 3rd party.

[QUOTE=y0haN;35619921]"Per say"? Really.[/QUOTE] It's just a typo? 'Per se' can easily be spelt wrong especially when it's one of those phrases that are more often said than written.
