    It's been worth it for Breaking Bad, and the missus watches all sorts of guff on it. And yeh, the streaming is superb.
  • Lets be fair. Hearing me descend into a angry sweary mess isn't really gaming, more entertainment.
  • 'Nother vote for HD streaming goodness of Netflix. It has never let me down, even if me and the mrs are both streaming something at the same time down out regular up to but oft nowhere near 8mb basic shitto phone line broadband.

    Sometimes I think baout switching to Lovefilm, they seem like they have a more regular stream of newer films being added to the service.

    However Netflix has Archer and Drawn Together and all the episodes of the X-Men cartoon.

    Heh. In my slight defence for various hideous and unavoidable reasons I have often had the full brace of 4 bastardy bastard nephews staying at our gaff. That can pummel the Netflix and Lovefilm. If i have to watch Sharkboy and Lavagirl again the plasmatron might not survive. Always impressed how a 3/4yr old can remain entranced at a shte film all the way through and then immediately chant for a restart.
    I'll concede the SkySports and Sky Atlantic abuse mind... 

    It also plays games so's I'm told...

  • What are your thoughts on the service?
    Amazing - wasn't into PC gaming so it was an introduction to online gaming for me. All the fun of gaming round your mates house without the grief of actually going somewhere and being social.


    First achievement?

    Best individual moment online?
    Too many to mention. Storming the bank as a team for the first time on Counter-Strike on the original box, the excellent if short lived XSN games (Links 2004, Rallisport Challenge 2, NHL Rivals 2004 anyone?), Rainbow 6 (and wiping out my entire team in a clan match inside 5 seconds when a misplaced grenade bounced off the head of the bloke in front and losing the match because we couldn't stop laughing), my first clan, Online Teamplay in FIFA and playing in position and finally 'getting' racing games through PGR.


    Worst?
    Dickheads online - those I know, those I don't and on occasion me

  • Did everyone receive these emails from MS?
  • I think many did, didn't you? Might have been a Rewards stats thing, should have been a blanket mail though.

    Also, Links 2004, spent a lot of quality time with that game and still have it.

  • I think they may still use my original email address actually, from the oldbox days.  I've told them numerous times on the phone that I haven't been able to access it since 2004, but I guess the person on the other end has never pressed the correct buttons.  Occasionally they email my girlfriend, which I gave as a second address, but they seem to dislike the one I've asked them to use.

    Pretty sure you can change all that through the accounts on your dash, or on Xbox.com. I was tied to a dead email address for a few years till they opened up the accessibility.

  • I've done that - it says the correct email address at the top right of the dash (the correct one has also been my account log in on their website for years).  For some reason whenever I have to speak to them on the phone the old one is always the first one they ask me about though.
