Sick of Sony and MS's bs tactics, Sony is worse, their FW updates are absolute ish, either a feature to protect themselves, removes a feature or add a useless icon.
He was just pointing out the irony of a PS "purist" trying to call out MS "purists". Like, why call out yourself bro?My opinions, are solely that. You can either look into them and try to base some argument or paint a picture to try and make me look bad. You could have pointed out some of my positive posts on MS. I am equal opportunity. I can be disappointed in any company and have expressed that in the past. But I guess since you took offence, that says more about you than me no?
I go by the trends of my interest and XB has been less interesting for a bit minus the LIVE stuff. It's not a unique stance. If I find something interesting, I will post. And yes, Rise of Nightmares does look bad and so does Kinect. I guess one can't joke about such things.
Now, if I was bored, I would look up your history but I don't care enough. Be as you may and try to figure me out if it's that important to you.
So cutting through all the snark in this thread, what do people think the legitimate reason is why this feature was removed?
Each individual in the party required a Netflix subscription so I don't see how this feature would have affected Netflix's bottom line.
Could this be a bug?
This was a big feature that would actually be a selling point for the next Xbox among me and my friends. I was hoping to see it copied by Nintendo and Sony too.That sucks. I never used it, but I can think of scenario where it would be quite entertaining.
Also, it takes away the one unique thing that the XBL-Gold Only Netflix might've had.
Sometimes me and my friends would just turn on an old show like Hey arnold for kicks. It's kind of cool to just revisit something old with friends haha. Comedy movies, bad movies and shows like Southpark are also a blast in party watch.It depends on the movie.
Chatting and joking during movies like Volcano or The Core is a ton of fun.
Probably like how a Sony purist would:
Thread: Only 1 PSN account per Vita - Cancel your preorders
Thread: My PS3 version of Skyrim is unplayable
Thread: If you have a Kinect, Get Rise of Nightmares

And not gonna respond to the other quote a few posts up. I'm not the one with the Halo avatar nor do I demean you for it Z_Y
lol ok
A commentator. I'm opinionated and joke like anyone else. It's not a big deal. Mind you, it wasn't me who took the time to select a few posts and embellish an opinion or perception of me. That's what offends me but I'm not here to get that serious or upset. Again, I have posted positively in MS and Nintendo's favor, those posts might not make his original quote selection look so good though

I'm not insulted nor do I care. I'm sitting here with my son and morning coffee so it's not the type of discussion I want to have right now.
Post below me - I DON'T EVEN HAVE A PS3. And if you look up the amount of posts in Sony games, it's down a lot since I don't have the interest to post because I can't play them. If its sales or something Vita then yes. My original post was in the same line and serious but with jest as some were saying "it's not that important" before I stepped in.
Moving on, if you're offended or are worked up that much, PM me.
people actually want to talk with other people while watching a movie or tv show?
fuck that. i just want everyone to shut up when im watching something.
You have some issues. This is a thread about a feature being removed from a Netflix app. Read what you are writing.
Think about that for a second.
A Netflix app. damn.
i didn't use it, but I don't like features being removed from a paid service.
Just got the new app and it no longer has party viewing. I know I didn't use the option often, but it was nice to have every once in a while. Why do I now want to pay for Gold to watch on Live when th PS3 app is just as good now? Why would they remove a feature? It just makes no sense.
Didn't Netflix recently remove/limit the # of devices that a single account can play to simultaneously?
Granted, you can watch Netflix on PS3 without needing a PS Plus account, but man the Netflix interface on it is just awful.
Lately it is all I use my PS3 for, I absolutely hate the 360 version of Netflix.
To rub salt in the wound, I've been using the 360 version while I tested the new dash and noticed last night that it burnt the netflix logo into my plasma
fortunately my tv has a utility for that (scrolling white bars) that seems to have fixed it, I was close to a stroke...

D:
What does it have the logo in the corner the whole time or something?!?!
I'm not very happy about this, either. I am in a LDR and this is a commonly used feature for our together activities. :-(Fuck this, me and my buddy and watching Battlestar right now and it's awesome to be able to chat with someone about the show as it goes along.
He was in the beta update and we could no longer stream, we thought it was just because of the different dashboard versions.
You are telling me this is a feature of the new dashboard and we will not ever be able to party watch any more? This is fucking bullshit!!!

more people watching their own stream = more bandwidth = more cost for Netflix
like how now in tveps, they show you the prompt for the next episode as soon as the credits roll... imagine how much they save when millions of people skip a minute of a video stream
good. was a useless feature anyways.
Did it add subtitles at least?
If anything it's an extra cost for Microsoft, but then it'd be more practical to eliminate party chat... and more importantly it'd be a dick move on their part after jacking the fees up last year. Not unless that extra $10 is divided up between a lot of people.I still don't see how this would indicate this party streaming resulted in higher cost for Netflix. There is little difference between 3 people streaming in a party or streaming separately other than the fact that they 3 would be synced up in a party.
Ah, here's some info. In September, Netflix made a push to limit device streaming:
Sounds like this is in line with their measures to save money.
I'm pretty sure its already done this...
