Xbox 360 Wireless Headset with Bluetooth and a new Media Remote

Most excited by the remote.

Here is a look at the new remote for the Xbox 360s.  It's black to match the new consoles. Something to note is that the media center logo isn't present on this remote.  It also has a button for recording and "live tv" that would fit with the newest update coming this fall.  This remote is meant to work a tv and your xbox so it would make sense that these record buttons and live tv buttons would be for the xbox 360.


Oh yeah, and here is alook at the new headset for the Xbox 360.

Netflix value going up?

Netflix price break down: It has more than one meaning.

Some folks need to calm down.  With any kind of increase of price most people will object.  That is just a normal reaction.  But Netflix is such a great value, the price increase doesn't hurt its value at all.  Here are the new pricing plans. I am showing a comparison of what they were and what they will be.  I will personally see an increase of $5 to the bill.

I've been on Netflix for a long time.  It all began in my years as a poor college student.  Learning to use the facebook for the first time, and paying $21 for Netflix DVDs.  It actually started at $19.99 and increased slightly, and went back down.  That price was for 3 at a time.  Before streaming and absolutely before Blu-ray.  So the price is actually going back to where it was before, and I get an additional 20,000 movies instantly to watch whenever and where ever I want.



This change just means, one less lunch to Wendy's or Burger King.

But Netflix could pull a Hulu and put a 30 sec commercial before the movie and push our price down. Then again who watches Hulu anymore?
