Let’s face it: the television remote is so yesterday. As anticipated, Xbox Live’s Marc Whitten has taken the stage at Microsoft’s keynote address to describe and promote some of the features we can expect from the company’s new Xbox Live TV functionality.
One has to wonder when Netflix decided to offer its streaming movie service on video game consoles whether it would have such a drastic effect on American internet usage.
The US Postal Service gave an unfair advantage to competitors like Netflix and Blockbuster Video, a regulatory board said Wednesday, awarding game rental service GameFly a victory in a two-year dispute over the postage, breakage and sorting of its disc mailings.
GameFly has been at it with the U.S. Postal Service for nearly two years now over what it perceives as preferential treatment to Netflix, whose mailings GameFly alleges are given higher priority by postal sorters, not to mention a better postage rate. So much that savings from the postage rate Netflix enjoys would double GameFly’s monthly profits.
Revealed today during Nintendo’s GDC 2011 keynote speech, the North American 3DS is the latest in a long line of handheld devices capable of tapping into Netflix’s streaming video service.
