Cheap Microsoft Xbox

About a week after they abruptly removed their entire Netflix library from streaming to the 360, Sony’s Columbia Pictures has decided to allow NXE Netflix streaming of most of their content. Thank goodness, because most Netflix subscribing fanboys already had pitchforks in hand and their retaliatory plan of action laid out.

We can confirm that almost all of the Columbia Pictures Netflix content can now be streamed to the 360, but a few movies (including Superbad) are still being blocked. Hopefully the remaining content’s licensing deals will get dealt with and all streaming media will be available in the next week or so. Fingers crossed.

In an attempt to foil Microsoft’s plans of a flawless NXE Netflix launch, Columbia Pictures (a studio that’s owned by Sony) has made sure that its entire Netflix movie catalog is blocked from streaming to the Xbox 360. How rude!

According to Joystiq (and confirmed by MTV Multiplayer) Netflix has pulled all Columbia Pictures content from the Xbox 360 instant view library due to “licensing problems.” But, wouldn’t you know, all the blocked content can still be viewed online and through all other Netflix enabled TV devices except for the 360. Netflix hopes to license all the currently blocked content to the Xbox 360 in the near future. Now, that just isn’t very nice of you Sony, haven’t you been taught to share?
