Just responding in-kind. If you guys want to play Thread Title Police, that's fine... but you may be called-out for your false calling-out from time to time. I didn't know if the console info was relevant to what I was/wasn't seeing with Netflix. Apparently it wasn't relevant. Excuse the h**l out of me for mentioning it.

G*****n some of you need LIVES.

How are your little temper tantrums "responding in-kind"?

First person (R Nilla) to notice the discrepancy:

What does this have to do with the 360? Sounds like you are unimpressed with what's made available by Netflix. Anything that Netflix streaming has to offer is available on the 360 (and PS3). The 360 menu doesn't really show everything so it's better to just browse Netflix.com.

Most movies have been out for at least a few months and you're not going to find any brand spanking new blockbuster releases available for streaming if that's what you were expecting. There are movies from 2009, though, and the selection is always changing.

Seems pretty even-handed and reasonable to me...devoid of immature insults or "360 fanboism". Your response?

Congratulations: you can read.

"Responding in-kind" indeed. :rolleyes:

This thread got off track fast but yes it's mostly crappy movies on Netflix streaming. I've found very few movies that I'd watch but hey it's free with your subscription so I'm not complaining.

only bad thing is the lack of queue management

I love stupid internet arguments. I want to join in.

In his thread title, the prepositional phrase "with Netflix" is used to describe the adjective "unimpressed." The prepositional phrase "on the 360" is used only to describe "Netflix," not the adjective "unimpressed."

Aside from the fact that the title is a sentence fragment, it is a perfectly worded phrase and, in my opinion, a clear and understandable statement of his opinion.

Good day.

hahaha man, rule #1 of defending your stupid post: don't tell people to "get a life" when you are the one throwing a hissy fit over a stupid post.

The adult/human response would have been "yeah I guess this has nothing to do with xbox"

LOL, you are a joke. You don't have basic comprehensive skills and expect the 360 to do MORE than Netflix actually offers. Then you blast those who do understand how Netflix works.

This thread (and OP) = Fail.

Sorry, I find it difficult to take offense, no matter how hard I try, to some Interwebs fanboi questioning my comprehension when he asserts something as ridiculous as this.

Never did I say this or imply it. I just said the Netflix's offerings disappointed me and that I was using a 360 to access them, and I wanted to figure out if I was missing an angle.

Congratulations, you CAN'T read :) See rnilla for tips.

You have two 360s.

To game with my son and watch movies with my wife. Sorry, chump: I think your attack missed its target by a mile ;)

Actually, the adult/human response would be to READ the thread and THEN post if you still feel the need. As already mentioned, I didn't KNOW if it had anything to do with the Xbox, the fact that my account was a trial, etc. I provided any possible relevant information. Sorry to have indirectly insulted your precious 360 in some obscure manner, though. Sheesh.

It's funny that I'm being criticized for overreacting when there's so much criticism over my mere mention of the 360. You assumed the worst possible intent and then acted from there. I assert again: a few of you need LIVES. Hope you folks aren't too lonely this holiday season...
