Netflix drops plan for Video Games

[Demon_Skeith]

Netflix CEO Reed Hastings, who you may remember from his Match.com profile video explanation video of Netflix's aborted split into two companies, said Netflix has no plans to offer video games right now, speaking in a Q4 investor meeting today. Hastings didn't offer more details on far-future plans, but he did confirm Netflix is investigating 3D streaming options to supplement its Blu-ray 3D disc service.

For now, it looks like gamers all will be getting is digital and physical disservice.

Was actually quite shocked to see this to be honest as I did half expect them to start rolling out their game rentals soon.

Over in the UK we have lovefilm that offers game rentals so I have dropped my package down now so I rent games from lovefilm and don't get the streaming anymore and I now have Netflix aswell and it's still cheaper than I was paying for streaming and renting from Lovefilm.
