Microsoft Cuts Movie Sharing from New Xbox Experience

In regards to the Xbox 360, the New Xbox Experience, NXE, is on everybody's lips. From the new features available to the storage issue that it will feature, the update is the center of attention. It will be launched on November 19 and until then, you can be sure that Microsoft is going to heavily promote it. We have already seen websites demonstrating the future dashboard of the console, and the screenshots released reflect a very interesting user interface.

One of the most talked about features of this new update was the ability to stream your personal Netflix movies to a group of up to eight friends and watch them together. It was definitely one of the things which would have attracted a lot of people to the Xbox 360; sadly, the feature will not be making it to the November release.

“With regards to movies, the New Xbox Experience is a long term initiative, what we are rolling out in November is only the beginning! With the New Xbox Experience we will have the flexibility to roll out features and updates dynamically, unlike in the past where we were on a more biannual schedule. So, there are a lot more exciting features, including Movie Sharing that will be coming soon,” read the official press statement from Microsoft regarding this problem.

But Xbox owners shouldn't worry, as the Photo Sharing system will still make it to the first release of the update. This feature will enable a gamer to share his personal photos with up to eight of his friends and exchange impressions about them.

Although this move definitely won't make the Xbox 360 users very happy, things will look up in the future, as the feature will be launched along with other important updates. But until November, we still have to settle with the old blade system of Microsoft's console.
