This issue was resolved less than a week after NXE launched. The movies which were blocked are now available.

Exactly! It's not a finished product and it has already flopped? Please.

Thats it sony! Your games arent selling, so start advertising the movie download capabilities of your console instead!

I doubt it will have much effect...

I hope my 360 doesn't RRoD

Movie download is probably pure profit for them so they are going to advertise it to maximize cash returns from their fanbase.

And it actually might be good idea to let it sink into consumer head that those 400$ give you more than bluray and games.

So let me get this straight, they won't advertise the blu-ray features of the PS3, but they spend lots of money of promoting the download movie features of PS3?

Here in the Netherlands they are ONLY promoting it as a blu-ray machine:

"Watch the Dark Knight on Blu-Ray!!! On your PS3!!!" or "HD movies, Superior Quality in Sound & Picture, BLU-RAY!! now on PS3" TV commercials all over the place about this Blu Ray machine called PS3... doesn't even mention it also plays games..

Face the future.. Gamecenter ID: nikkom_nl (oh no he didn't!!)

hmm.... are you not using Netflix because there are no Sony Movies?

Netflix = Streaming $8.95 for over 33,000 movies

OR

PSN or XBL= Rentals are $1.99 - $5.99 each...

why someone would not use Netflix as opposed to XBL or PSN movies is well... beyond my understanding..

well maybe I look at it from a mortgage / family point of view, were price is key.

Well if you only rent 1 or 2 movies a month or want to own them then netflix isn't really the best solution.

I think most people are overlooking the simple fact that the advertisement istelf gets the message across very clearly and is even slightly humourous.

Is Sony turning a new leaf? Can we finally stop seeing ridiculous and confusing commercials promoting the PS3?

Tune in next week to find out...
