Xbox Live Required

Why is an active connection to Xbox Live Required for Netflix at all? Now the Xbox service is down so I cant use Netflix. It is wrong that I am denied use of a service I paid for because some unrelated unnecessary 3rd party server goes down. Totally ridiculous.

Xbox One Year-In Review

I'd agree with you if the service wasn't required or there were different providers. However, this isn't a cell phone, where you can get a certain model through different service providers. Thus a device review shouldn't include a review of a particular service. Xbox Live is a required service that is a part of the console. Achievements, friends, party chat, etc. etc. are a vital part of the system and are required to have Xbox Live. You say it should be a review of the hardware and UI, but the problem there is that a lot of the UI requires Xbox Live.

 

DLC won't work unless connected to the net?!

As long as it's the Xbox360 that it was purchased on.

...AND to the Xbox360 it was purchased on, as drskhaled mentioned above. Just to be clear.

Two separate licences. Either case must apply before it'll work; on the console that purchased it - no connection to Xbox Live required; by the GamerTag that purchased it - connection to Xbox Live required.

 

I agree i pay for nwtflix and i cant watch it. I receiced a email from microsoft stating that you can watch netflix even if you lose your xbox live

 

But when i try to start up netflix it tells me that xbox live is required
