And Sony used "MoneyHat" with Movie companies they own. Is the reason that the Selection is not a big as it could have been....

And I don't think there is an extra fee to use Netflix over the 360...I would have to ask my friend who has it...

The extra fee for the 360 is Gold subscription.

*Note* - The reason I say "extra fee" is because subscription based services on 360 (ex: Final Fantasy XI) are exempt from Gold charges because they have their own subscription fee. FFXI can be played online by silver members. I think the reason it is different here is because the Netflix CEO is on the MS board.

I am pretty sure that the new BD players coming out with the Netflix instant view support do not require an additional fee like the 360 does. I am fairly certain they only require your initial subscription plan, which is how I thought it was going to be.

I have also had Netflix for over 2 years now and I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt the whole Sony thing has little to no bearing on what is now available to you on instant view.

 

If you already have Gold for gaming and have Netflix however the whole concept is a slam dunk for you.

 

 

Really I don't pay an etra fee and I use Netflix on my 360. It's just one of the bonuses available for those that are Gold members as long as you are also a Netflix user which I was already at the time to. Watching instant play movies from Netflix without havign to pay for a box to do so from Netflix is so worth it anyways. News Flash buddy most people have gold already that would want this anyways. So everytime gold members get something silver members don't somehow we pay an extra fee huh. We not paying anymore than we already would be for gold and if the features on gold don't interest you you ain't being forced to get it. BTW Why shouldn't Microsoft add more features for us Gold Members? I been a Gold Member since the very begining of the Xbox Live launch on the Xbox and never looked back and PSN is shit to Live I use both and PSN is average. You get what you pay for as they say.
