No More Netflix Parties on Xbox Live

I turned on my xbox today and I loaded the new Netflix app hoping I will see a pop asking me to update. Why was I hoping this would happen? because that would give me the slight glimmer of hope that all the issues with this app have been fixed! My major gripe is that I am no longer able to start a Netflix party with my friends. Let me just say this Netflix instant streaming choices are not the creme de la creme of fine cinenma. If it wasn't for the television series available to watch there really wouldn't be a need to instant stream their movies at all. The one thing that made their instant stream movies even remotely watchable was being able to watch these B-movies in parties which gave Netflix and their crappy outdated selections of movies the breath of fresh air they needed.

Conan O'Brien Was Almost on Xbox Live!

According to the web site Gamasutra TV comedian Conan O’Brien almost ended up doing a show to be shown exclusively on the Xbox 360. According to executive producer Jeff Ross, Microsoft approached Conan O’Brien after he left NBC in early 2010 and asked him to do a show for Xbox Live. “You meet with these guys and they show you all this stuff that they’re developing and it’s mind blowing,” said Ross. “I think it’s coming and it’s big. It’s just that we weren’t in a position at that point to figure out what it was.” Apparently things didn’t pan out because Microsoft was unclear about the direction they wanted to go in if Conan decided to come on board. This lead to Conan ending up on TBS. To read more about this story Click Here!
