Netflix on Xbox sysytems.

Foomanchew420 · Jan 7, 2014

I had the pleasure of getting to play with a Xbox One and a Playstation 4 over the holidays. I must say both systems are quite gorgeous! And the gameplay is awesome! However; with all the console wars, i found out one thing that will stop me from buying
an Xbox One and buy a Playstation 4 instead. And that is Netflix. I'm not a Microsoft hater but the fact that I would have to purchase a Xbox Live GOLD membership to stream my Netflix movies is what I believe ridiculous. I pay yearly for a Netflix account.
I can stream movies on my Wii (No extra cost). I can on my Apple TV (No extra cost). I can on my Smart TV (no extra cost). I can stream on a PS3 or PS4 (No extra cost). But here is where i was amazed. To stream on Xbox 360 or Xbox One, I must pay extra for
the Xbox Live Gold membership. Wow…. Thanks Microsoft for charging us extra fee's to stream movies from Netflix that other game systems allow us to do for free. And Xbox One is the most expensive unit on the market to boot.

Microsoft reveals Xbox One Entertainment App line-up

The new Netflix won't be coming to Xbox One either Netflix updates Xbox 360, PS3, Roku and Smart TV apps with unified interface

The only device guaranteed not to be on the docket? The Xbox One. Jaffe says it's too deep in Microsoft's design language to participate.Click to expand...

I assume this means that because Netflix is deeply integrated with Xbox One its difficult to update to the new platform. From the UI video it looks like Netflix can be added to the TV guide for voice control etc and so may be a bespoke build.

So even though you currently own 3-4 devices that you can stream netflix on,you won`t buy an xbox because it can`t??

Yes its wrong that its hid behind a pay wall,but blame netflix for allowing microsoft to do that.

Chances are if you buy an xbox one you will buy gold anyway,so it would make no difference.

Oh and CBOND....you weren't being mean, I realize there will always be someone better in the gaming world, I'm just not willing to pony up the time and effort to get better. Like shoes said, I'll probably be back, but most of you will have moved on to the
next gen gaming sysytem by the time I'm any good. Lifes short.......

Hello Derek,

I think those GamerTag formats is unavailable because of new Gamertag system. If you wil try to change your GamerTag to alredy taken you will get something like this:
VeryCoolPlayer#0123. And in some game your name will be VeryCoolPlayer, in games that doesn't support new sysytem - VeryCoolPlayer0123
