Kotaku —
... Pictures Entertainment (dun dun dunnnnn!) is now listed as "currently unavailable for playback on the Xbox." That affects some big releases from the studio, including titles like Superbad , The Karate Kid and The Lives of Others but also thankfully saves us from becoming incredibly depressed by watching Spider-Man 3 while drunk. The titles will still be available for stream via PCs and other set top boxes just not your Xbox 360. According to a follow up on the story from MTV Multiplayer , "a few hundred titles are temporarily unavailable" for Microsoft's console, ...

Sony blocks entire Netflix movie library from streaming to the Xbox 360
Joystiq [Xbox] —
... (and confirmed by MTV Multiplayer) Netflix has pulled all Columbia Pictures content from the Xbox 360 instant view library due to "licensing problems." But, wouldn't you know, all the blocked content can still be viewed online and through all other Netflix enabled TV devices except for the 360.

Xbox 360 NXE launches today, Sony Movies not streaming via Netflix
I4U News —
... This limitation causes you to miss out on watching movies like Superbad and We Own The Night. There is no word yet from Netflix when Sony will grant the license for their content to be streamed onto the Xbox 360. This is of course not a sustainable situation for users. There is no sense for Sony to block their content on the long run. This will not help PS3 sales, just because Sony movies do not stream on the Xbox 360 now. More details on this interesting developing little war on MTV . See also the Microsoft NXE ...

Netflix Xbox 360 streaming suffers Sony Pictures pull-out
SlashGear —
... According to Netflix corp. communications VP Steve Swasey, the licencing issue is part of the “natural ebb and flow” of ever-changing deals between studios. Considering the Xbox 360 is a prime competitor to Sony’s PS3 console, this particular case of ebb and flow does look a whole lot more like Sony dumping waste in the water supply to sour the NXE launch. ...
Sony’s Columbia Picture flicks not available on NXE Netflix streaming
CrunchGear —
... but it will take some time before we fully achieve that goal. Today, titles regularly come in and out of license and there is a natural ebb and flow to what we have on license at any given point in time.
It’s funny how only Sony Columbia pictures are the only movies with this issue. If it was licensing issues, one would think that the studio had ample time to file the appropriate paperwork. So once again, bull. More as we get it.

Yahoo! Tech Advisors —
... -- which went live this week -- is that it can stream movies from Netflix's on-demand service, giving your game console new life as a video-serving monster. But now comes the sad announcement that Sony has forbidden Netflix from allowing its titles to be played via the Xbox streaming system. They still work on your PC and via other hardware devices like the Roku Netflix Player, but they've now vanished from Xbox 360 dashboards. You needn't think too hard to figure out why Sony made this move. The Xbox 360 is a direct competitor to the Sony PlayStation 3, and Sony doesn't ...

... affordable, and generous way to stream a library of high definition content into your house. But you need a Netflix account on top of your paid Xbox Live subscription. However, I can only speak to the theoretical application of this. Right now, as of two hours after the launch of the service, it's not working and the official advice I got from Netflix's tech support an hour ago was "We're recommending you wait and try again in a half hour". And even if it were working, it looks like Sony will block their movies from being viewable over an Xbox 360. It's going to get a whole lot ...
Netflix Speaks about Xbox 360 and Sony Movies
PR News: —
... Netflix VP of corporate communications Steve Swasey told MTV Multiplayer that they hope this problem will be sorted soon, but stated that Sony’s movies are still viewable on other Netflix enabled devices such as PCs and Macs.
Until Sony and Microsoft become friends, it’s unlikely that these titles will be viewable on the Xbox 360, so viewers will just have to wait and see what happens, and if Microsoft can agree some sort of licensing deal with Sony.
