Breaking News

Loading up my Netflix Instant Queue this evening, I was surprised to see titles I didn't remember seeing last night, or the night before. As of last night, it was well known that the much lauded movie streaming on the Xbox 360 via Netflix Instant Queue was missing a few big things to be a knock out punch. At least one of those things was the library of Columbia films which Sony seemed to have Netflix pull from the 360's service, claiming licensing issue. 

It was when I got to my final queued up movie that I realized what had happened. I submit for your approval:

GHOSTBUSTERS (I apologize for the shoddy photo quality.)

One of the biggest titles that gamers were left aching for was the 1984 comedy sci-fi classic starring Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray, and Harold Ramis. Luckily, we have no need to be afraid of no ghosts (specifically, Sony's licensing bogeymen.)

Well, you can put those concerns to rest. Sleep well tonight, better yet, don't sleep at all. Instead stay up and watch the titles that have been restored and given access to 360 and Netflix users. A quick look at my Instant Queue revealed that where titles previously listed "unavailable for playback on Xbox 360," now they plain entries, daring me to boot up my 360 and press play.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have movies to watch.
