Sony Blocks Content from Being Viewed on Xbox 360 Via Netflix Instant Watch

Various sources indicate that just hours before Microsoft’s Netflix-enabled Xbox 360 dashboard update hit, Sony made a lion’s share of their content unavailable for viewing on their rival’s gaming console. The same goes for Sony’s subsidiary Columbia Pictures. Netflix officials chalk it up to the "ebb and flow" of licensing agreements and say it’s only a temporary suspension. The Sony and Columbia content can still be streamed on other devices, just not on the Xbox. The console wars may be heating up again.
