Anyone booting up Netflix on an old PlayStation 3 today ran into a depressing warning. The steaming app, which has been around for about 15 years now, is shutting down next month. RIP. On February 3, a Reddit user posted a photo of a TV displaying the following message: Unfortunately, Netflix will no longer be available on this device after March 2, 2026. Visit Netflix.com/compatibledevices to see a list of supported devices. (R40)

Some collectors will stop at nothing to complete their collections, even if that means decades have to pass before ever finishing. One such collector was on such a journey, finding and acquiring every Xbox 360 game released, and at the start of this year, that collector has finally finished this now vintage library that totals around $20,000--with the last game being a gift from their son.

There were a lot of great Xbox 360 games during its run. But looking back, it's staggering to see how many of the top-selling Xbox 360 games were from the Call of Duty franchise. Circana's Mat Piscatella has shared the 20 best-selling Xbox 360 games in the US, and 7 out of the 20 were Call of Duty titles. Six of those games were in the top 10, and four out of the top five as well. Three Halo games and two Gears of War titles made the list, as did perennial best-sellers Minecraft and The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim. Since the acquisitions of Bethesda, Activision, and Mojang Studios, Microsoft now owns the rights to 17 of the titles on this list.

Speaking to Eurogamer, Moore explained that getting the Xbox 360 into the market ahead of the PS3 was key to its strong performance, saying that the first 10 million sales were vital. "I think it was really important to get it out first," Moore said. "Get going, get momentum, and aim for that 10 million installed base that I felt that would give us an amazing advantage over whatever Sony could do to catch up."

The Halo 3 soundtrack could soon be joining classics like "Jingle Bell Rock" and "Deck the Halls" on your holiday playlist, if you deck your halls with Hallmark's new Xbox 360 Keepsake ornament. It's now available from Hallmark's online store and Amazon for $28.99 and pressing its power button plays the console's swooshy startup sound and then about 20 seconds of the Behold a Pale Horse track from the Halo 3 soundtrack that incorporates elements of the Halo theme, according to IGN.

It was exactly the same tactics of creating a very expensive movie. But when the game came out, it was completely BS. I knew it that night when I watched it.

The Xbox 360 received a new system update, updating its dashboard with clearer game images and highlighting promotions for the next-gen Xbox Series X|S.

"Fact: Gaming isn't just a hobby. It is a lifestyle," says an unnamed narrator during a short video at the front of the special.
