I guess they've gotten creative with the meaning of leading?

I don't mean to troll, but are they heralding the ability to download HD movies and play online games? I guess it's sort of new that a console can do both, but this isn't exactly something new otherwise.

 

I can actually do that on my PS3 right now, so I don't think that's the shift that they are talking about, though I admit I don't know what is.

 

No, you can't. He's talking about Netflix. And Netflix is just like icing on the cake, NXE offers so much more. Tomorrow's the big day ;)

So I imagined the movie store with all the HD movies?  Or playing online games?  I am commenting solely on those two abilities, I have not kept up with NXE and do not know the other capabilities, but those two things are already possible through other means so I find it unlikely that they are huge innovations.
