One of the features i have mentioned in the past about the NXE was the ability to watch Netflix movies with up to 8 friends.

Apparently this has been cut from the initial release in November, but may be added into the console’s feature set at any time.

Photosharing, however, will be included at launch (yay).

From the MS Press Briefing:

Photo Sharing is going to be available at launch.
With regards to movies, the New Xbox Experience is a long term initiative, what we are rolling out in November is only the beginning! With the New Xbox Experience we will have the flexibility to roll out features and updates dynamically, unlike in the past where we were on a more biannual schedule. So, there are a lot more exciting features, including Movie Sharing that will be coming soon.

This is something which has remained widely disputed on the internet, and a search turns up inconclusive results.

Google Does NOT allow personal visits.

You have to be invited to visit. The invite has to come from someone on the inside.

I found this out the hard way this weekend when i attempted to visit.

  • Wow, Bungie announces Halo 3: Recon and Microsoft announces NXE release date Nov. 19th in one day. TGS has been BIG so far. #

  • Tweets are integrated to and from my blog now #
  • I wonder when rockbox will come to the Zune. The zune’s internal software is fairly good, but a few things, such as Last.fm, are missing. #
  • I wonder if xbox live is up yet. #
  • Superjail was quite amusing. #
  • I continue to be amazed by mybb. It has the fastest ajax quick reply i have seen. Its like that of vBulletin. Better yet, its free! #
  • Help invite #
  • It seems that of all the wordpress plugins out there, only a handful are useful. Also, some potentially useful plugins remain undeveloped. #
  • A ratchet screwdriver is very useful for installing rack-mount servers. I wish i had one. #
  • The challenges in mercenaries 2 are really easy if you do them on co-op. #
  • I have had 2 CFL (compact flourescent lights) burn out in the space of one day. I thought these things lasted… #
  • I need to play through Mercenaries 2 again to get the achievements, but ill wait till the cheat codes come out on the 13th. #

As i promised a while back, the forums have relaunched, and this time, they are leagues better than they used to be. You will need new accounts to use them, but registration is safe, and you can still comment without registering.
