The exclusive year long deal with Microsoft is over and we finally have an XMB option for the PS3 as well as a channel for the Wii. Also coming to the PS3 version of Netflix is 1080p glorious HD and a first: 5.1 Dolby Surround Sound Plus.
This lack of 5.1 audio was one of my biggest gripes with Netflix for those hard hitting action movies. They just lacked the final punch needed to prevent me from buying blu-rays and movies still on DVD. Now that buying decision is even harder with 5.1 streaming audio.
To get the new XMB Netflix app just head on over to the Playstation Network section of the Main Menu and install it from the “What’s New” section. It’s completely re-designed for the PS3, allows searching for Instant Streaming movies, and runs even faster than before. All great things for movie watchers.
The Wii version of Netflix only takes up 49 memory blocks on the unit, so it’s a relatively small download. Nothing to prevent you from downloading that other Nintendo Marketplace download that will collect dust for months on end.
Enjoy the disc-free movie watching kiddos. Now it’s time to come up with a funny way to get rid of those pesky Netflix DVDs they sent out. Hmmmm, maybe some idiot will buy them on Craigslist?

I totally forgot about a few Fridays in the past! (smacks head) I completely went brain dead in the exciting weeks leading up to E3 and forgot to post “What Are You Playing?” My bad everyone….. I’ll try not to let it happen again (but no promises)!
It’s the end of the work week for most of us “normal working folk”, and the writers here at Loot Ninja want to let you guys sound off on all of the great games you are playing at the moment. We want to know what you are looking forward to playing over the weekend. Did you just get a brand new game still wrapped in the cellophane that you are itching to play when you get home, or are you trying to finish off the last few bosses to move on to the next great adventure? We want to know what it is!
I can’t wait to go home and play some more Alan Wake. I just finished up Episode 3 finally and just dropped into Episode 4. Sadly, most of my friends are still playing Red Dead Redemption and telling me how bad-ass it is. I’m still only a few hours in on the single player missions. Apparently the single-player is great, but I don’t know yet, I’m still looking for trouble with some dude’s dog?
What are you guys and gals out there currently playing or getting ready to play over the weekend? Be sure to let us know in the comments.
Most of the time when you waddle your fat ass out of places like OK Corral, Western Sizzlin’ or even Barnhill’s, you’ll often find yourself face to face with a claw game. I really don’t know what to call them other than “claw game”, but you know what I mean. We’ve all seen them – huge cabinets filled with stuffed prizes, toys you want for five seconds, towering lights, and annoying sound effects that deafen your ear drums. These machines eat up money like candy, with players hoping to snatch up prizes with a motorized claw that has old man strength. The average game cabinet could be filled with a variety of prizes – from candy, stuffed Tweedy Bird figures, or even weird Golex jewelry. Check this kick-ass PS3 claw machine OUT!

You might not get the headline right off the bat (or the picture for that matter), but I’d bet a few hookers that you’ve probably been through what I’m talking about. The void is a window of time where there really aren’t any good games being released. If there are, they are spaced out, sporadic, and don’t really have the same punch we get around the end of the year. My question to you guys is what are you guys doing or playing over the upcoming void (which by my clock starts today) since all the big games have been added to your collection?

One of the downfalls most of us know about for the Wii platform is it’s lacking catalog of mature Wii titles. No More Heroes is one of those games that cuts through the fog, the shit-tastic haze of “My Baby’s First Steps” and “Jump Start Pet Rescue”. It’s a follow-up to one of the best Wii game you probably didn’t ever know about. A flagship franchise right up there in the vein of MadWorld and Red Steel. How does a great game get better? Improvement. And has Suda51 done so with his next venture in NMH2: Desperate Struggle? Find out after the jump.

The Nintendo Wii is becoming a plastic graveyard for a lot of people. The Wiimote charging dock I can live with and the Wii Fit is a necessity . The Tony Hawk skateboard, yeah, not a house favorite. The Wii Sniper Rifle is not going to make the cut. Why? It is not a sniper rifle. I am not expecting anything groundbreaking in a light gun, but this is completely unnecessary. The scope has zero function. It is “not intended for gaming accuracy”. Great. It looks cool, but for $39.99, it is just a Wiimote cradle that makes you feel like you’re holding a real gun. The functionality of some of these Wii accessories is bordering on the insulting.
Most of us out there are trying to save up all of our clams and change we find in the couch cushions trying to get our hands on this year’s biggest titles. $60 bucks for a brand new title is a big chunk of change to swallow for most gamers, so I bring a little breathing room for all of you guys and gals. This might just be what you Loot Ninja gamers need to hold you over until the mass hysteria of Black Friday and Christmas shopping.
GameFly is doing a $20 dollar and below blowout sale on a select list of pre-played games. This offer does include free shipping and handling, as well as the 100% GameFly guarantee that the games have been pre-inspected and come with the actual case and a “like new” manual. Read the list of games and more after the jump.
