Maybe then you should consider the failure rate for them? I'm on my fourth one and RARELY play it.

This would be nice for 360 owners. It's one of my favorite things on my ps3 ever since the flash player was updated.

I agree, it is one of the most used sites on my PS3 for quite a little while now already but if you REALLY want the service you don't have to wait for M$ to add the functionality. Just use/buy PlayOn! and you can use Hulu, Youtube etc. on your 360 while getting Netflix for your PS3 as well. Granted you have to pay for the PlayOn! software but at least it is works & is available right now; not a "probable maybe" from M$.

Funny thing is, I already use HULU, YouTube...on the original XBOX. They want to implement that on the 360, wonder where do they get their "brilliant" ideas from:)!

Why is people feel the need to mock the idea? If you like it its a plus and if not then dont stress. Its like if the ps3 added a banana peeler function. I wouldnt be like thats so dumb why didnt they relases an apple peeler? Especially if i didnt own that product. Shares the same line of thinking as me bashing a T.V for not having a feature cool or not that i do or dont have. What does it matter?

Not sure who's mocking the idea1 :) From all the replays that I have read, it seems that everyone is embracing it and see it as a good addition to the 360!

You shouldn't, as even if MS was to add Hulu and Youtube that is only 2 features of which PlayOn has. There is much more to the software plus as of right now this is only rumors that MS will add these types of features.

Why don't they just integrate A web browser with a Plugin manager.
The Xbox team is always running around in circles trying to catch up, there tail seemingly eludes them time after time.

They already have that, is called a "PC":)! What's next, balance the checkbook and do taxes on your gaming/media console?

Agreed they do need to add a web browser. They are the ones the most involoved in the computer world so youd figure they wouldve been first

I hate being restricted by Hulu. I would rather way TV channels around the world and movies in 1080p Blu-ray on my PC and set top box on MyTVPAL ( www.mytvpal.com ) that's made using Matrixstream ( www.matrixstream.com ) IPTV platform.

In case anyone actually paid any attention to his post ? I guess Michael Dunn gets a kickback from Matrixstream and mytvpal. I?m sure he?s not biased at all.
