xbox + netflix = cool
Last night I got the stuff to get my xbox hooked up to the internet as an early birthday / father’s day gift (as well as a super cool nifty laptop bag and lap desk) and, after I download the updates, installed the netflix app. I then proceeded to start watching movies in my queue. Very cool and works great. I wish it would show all the streamable movies in my queue, or, better yet, browse the entire library, but still, it worked very well and I am excited to have that feature. I’m going to be working on a media storage pc connecting to it to stream our music and other media. I am very excited about this new ability. Oh ya, and now we can buy games through it too.
One of the items I ran across was the Natal video. I loaded it up to show Taryn this interface and discovered that it was not the hyped unrealistic looking commercials i’ve seen everywhere , but the actual E3 on-stage demo of the product. It works. It seems to work very well. I can now see it augmenting their existing controllers in a way that would help immerse the gamer and offer more control of the character.
I can’t find a video of the actual E3 demo. If I can I’ll post it up here.
I was wondering why sony, during their motion sensitive controller demonstration, kept mentioning that they needed a controller because it didn’t feel right without it. Now we know. Unfortunately, Microsoft’s tech could work with the existing controller or really any shape or style of controller. That would be something, I’d think, because sony is right that some things just don’t feel right without a button.
Holy Freakin’ Cow!!!
