Netflix: It's a terrific hit on 360. Exclusively on 360 "for now".

No, but it has everything to do with Microsoft's approach. If they're going to keep something as basic as online multiplayer for Gold members only, then I certainly think they'll do the same with Netflix.

 

Not when the item in question already has a subscription service.

FFXI has it's own subscription cost, much like Netflix does and only requires you to have a Silver membership to play it online. Since you pay for the services cost already you are not bound to pay for Gold as well. It just wouldn't be fair. I am sure LIVE MMOs wouldn't go down too well if you had to pay 2 subscription costs instead of just 1.

Same here. I am paying $8.99/month for Netflix and Instant View is a normal part of the package, it has always been offered at no additional cost. Now to watch it on my 360 I must pay again?

If Netflix wasn't bound to Gold I am sure the amount of Netflix users on the 360 would be 4-5x higher than it is now.
