Netflx was never supposed to go worldwide. Not sure where you heard that. Netflix is 10 times better now. Games marketplace might be cool when more games are on there. Another good revenue stream for Live.

What? I think I got that from E3. I clearly remember seeing my own flag as one of the countries which are getting netflix. :/

No, it was not sky. Maybe it was just video marketplace but.. 1080p movies still.

Video Marketplace, not Netflix.

 



We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai

It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps

We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick

 

So far I am SOOOO impressed with this update/preview, the loading in the marketplace is now instant all the time, no waiting at all, I can also now enjoy indie games without having to exit back to the game library waiting for it to re-load everything each time,

Game ratings are cool too!

Yup, I've been reinstalling all my games on my hard drive and I saved quite a lot of GBs. It's an awesome update overall, especially because of the UI improvements.



Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...
