Netflix Speaks Out On Sony Movies Disappearing From Xbox 360 Service - It’s Not A Glitch

Well, we’ve got a response to the story I posted before about the movies from Sony on the Xbox 360 Netflix service. We’ve learned that it’s not a glitch. The restriction of Sony movies only apply to Xbox 360 users. PC, Mac and other Netflix-enabled on-demand devices can still stream Sony Pictures Entertainment films, and is not a glitch.

“In the case of Xbox 360, a few hundred titles are temporarily unavailable to be streamed via the Xbox game console,” Netflix VP of corporate communications Steve Swasey told MTV Multiplayer in an e-mailed statement tonight. “Those titles are still available to be watched on subscribers’ computers and on TVs via other partner devices, and we hope they’ll be licensed for Xbox 360 shortly.”

Swasey wouldn’t say, when he was asked if the license just coincidentally expired as Microsoft was adding Netflix support or Sony Pictures Entertainment specifically requested Xbox 360 streaming to be disabled.
