Following the annunciation that Netflix instant watch support is coming to the PlayStation 3, you may bring forth thought that Microsoft would consider dropping its Xbox Live Gold demand for Netflix watching. Nuh-uh. Despite the fact that any PlayStation 3 proprietor with a Netflix account will be able to stream content generous of charge (aside from the cost of Netflix, of course), Microsoft is sticking to its fire-arms and insisting that Xbox Live Gold remains great value.
Speaking by IGN, a spokesperson for Microsoft stated, “The Netflix experience on Xbox Live is unique and reflects our imprisonment for social entertainment. We believe we offer an experience today that is a generation ahead of what others are offering. For a little over $4 a month Xbox LIVE Gold society is hands-down the best value in home entertainment, and gives you debarring access multi-player gaming and early demos as well as Facebook, Twitter, Netflix, Last.fm, 1 vs 100 and besides.”
Watching Netflix on Xbox 360 currently has the edge, assuming you don’t mind paying for Live. You can watch things with friends who acquire Netflix over Xbox Live, and there’s a dedicated Netflix putting on on the system itself, as opposed to the disc you’ll want to have in your PS3 to access Netflix. But for some, having to pop in a disc and watch with only those in the place with you aren’t big enough of drawbacks to continue remunerative for Xbox Live — and it’s hard to blame them. If Microsoft does indeed close up of admission for Xbox Live, they’re going to receive one less exclusive feature to dangle in front of prospective customers.
Despite wholly the positive buzz surrounding the game, Borderlands is in danger of congruous yet another great game whose launch is tainted by broken online behave. A few unlucky players (on all three platforms) have encountered a brave-crippling bug that strips them of their characters’ progress when playing multiplayer.

And during the time that the proficiencies should theoretically be recoverable over time, the skill points are indubitably lost permanently — forever erasing characters’ action skills and any advanced abilities they’ve acquired.
The bug is popularly listed in Gearbox’ known issues thread, and a Gearbox employee responded to some of the numerous tech support threads with the following: “Your announcement has been heard and we’re working on it. Unfortunately there isn’t a fix just yet, but when one is suitable we hope to be able to repair as much of your nature data as possible.”
We’ll be keeping an eye out since any forthcoming patch announcements for Borderlands. Until then, play online at your have risk.
Speaking in some interview with IndustryGamers, Naughty Dog creative director Amy Hennig confirmed that downloadable peace for Uncharted 2 will be available before the new year.
“We’re working on that now, and what we’re prepared to say is that in that place will be DLC available before the end of the year,” Hennig afore~ about DLC. “Without going into specifics, it’ll involve new maps, reinvigorated characters, things like that. Some of it will be free of charge and more of it will be purchasable.”
This goes along with what Naughty Dog has beforehand said about DLC, as they’ll be focusing on the competing multiplayer when creating new content.
Elsewhere in the interview, Hennig gave some insight into just how pleased Naughty Dog is with Uncharted 2’s sales in the same state far. “I would definitely say it’s exceeding expectations,” she uttered. “Being in the industry for a while you learn to try to manage your expectations because you’d rather be surprised with good news than disappointed.
“It’s a tough occupation,” Hennig continued, “but from the early numbers I’ve seen getting reported back it’s exceeded any estimates we had internally, and it’s certainly outsold the rudimentary game by many, many times. That and the critical reception likewise far has been really gratifying.”
Usually commencing iterations of popular portable devices get smaller (anyone remember the Game Boy Micro?), if it were not that Nintendo is bucking tradition with the DSi LL — a new interpretation of their gaming handheld that adds an extra 1/4 of each inch to the screens. But that’s not all it adds: According to Nintendo president Satoru Iwata, the viewing flare for the DSi LL has been improved as well with the intention of making it a spectator system (via Joystiq).
“Nintendo DSi LL features not only bigger monitor screens,” Iwata said in a financial results briefing, “unless an improved view angle on the screens to make it the principal portable system that can be enjoyed with people surrounding the gamer.”
The essence is to allow people next to the person playing to master a better view of what’s happening on the screens, creating a “recent play style where those who are surrounding the game player can also join in one way or the other to the play for money play.” While the intention is probably for new games to have existence designed specifically to be played this way on the DSi LL, Iwata likewise mentioned the Japan-only Tomodachi Collection as a currently released of ~ that can already benefit from surrounding viewers.
“Because communications and interactions with other family members and your friends are one of the lock opener elements of the game, the fun aspect is intensified when other lower classes can watch how you play in comparison with when you are playing ~ means of yourself,” said Iwata.
We know the impulse is usually to balk at this kind of screwy idea, but considering how developers bring forth consistently come up with surprisingly creative ways to use otherwise temporal-seeming features on the DS and DSi, we’re going to bound the standard phase of incredulity and proceed directly to cautious optimism as being this new age of Handheld Spectatorship.

The Netflix-enabling discs will be shipping formerly next month for all Netflix members who order one.
