This is exciting
this means there will be more gamers to play with
however still ps3 has there exclusive games and xbox has there exclusive games, but would be good for call of duty and other games that are across the platforms

Good point, but it does mean that PS3 and Xbox360 users alike will be able to play the exclusives from consoles they don't have!
I'm a PS3 guy, but I did own an Xbox360 for a while, purely for Halo. It would be GREAT to play that again!

Xbox360 owners will be able to play PS3 exclusives, and PS3 owners will be able to play Xbox360 exclusives.
Edit: Balls. Turns out that onlive doesn't do exclusive titles. Totally disregard the above, unfortunately

There's apparently a player app coming at some point, so we'll be able to play console games on our phones. Crazy!

It's a gaming "platform", I guess. It's basically console & PC games streamed over the internet so you can play them with a dedicated viewer box, or on your PC.
Go to http://www.onlive.com/ and sign up (for free) and you can watch people's games in progress and see what's available.

No - that's the beauty of it. It streams games from their service. You still have to buy them, obviously, but they're cheaper than "the real thing".

Netflix pissing me off. Nintendo 3DS, sure. Xoom? Nope

Netflix now has an app for the Nintendo 3DS, yet we can't get one for these Tetra 2 powerhouses. Hell, it works on my Nook!
Its really annoying. I cancelled my account.
If you have an account, please call and ask about it. The more people complain, the more likely they are to make the fix.
Ill restart my subscription if they get it going, but for now, Netflix has lost a customer.
Has anyone heard if/when they are going to step up?
I have to admit that I am surprised that nvidia isn't screaming at them.

i just got my own account the other day, i've been piggybacking off of others for like a year and a half. I can't wait to have it on my xoom so I can just plug it into my living room TV instead of lugging one of my consoles out there, but I can wait.

I couldnt help but to laugh when I first saw a youtube video on 3Ds...I mean it was a big slap in the face to all xoom users.

youtube video?

yeah, we get it, netflix is on the 3ds. this WAS announced from the start you know.

And its not like the doesn't work on the zoom, they just disabled the streaming portion. It took them almost a year after the HTC evolution came to even release an android client, no telling how long for a tablet version.

Yeah no kidding Netflix should be a given on such power full tablets I just don't get it
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App

Haha I do have Netflix on my 3DS right now!
But for my Xoom, nah not possible yet, I hear ya OP. But the 3DS is Nintendo. The Wii is one of the consoles that Netflix fully supports, and if you look at the 3DS version, it's basically the same app ported over from the Wii to the smaller portable 3DS screen.
Nintendo and Netflix have a console+steaming service relationship. They will always officially support each other, no matter what. This is not the case with Android. Not fully and completely supported, not just yet anyways.
We will see full Android support for Netflix in due time. Maybe when Ice cream sandwich makes its debut, who knows. All new tablets and phones will run the same exact OS, making it pretty easy to fully support all devices without a problem. That's what I believe they are looking to do. Makes perfect sense.

The is one of the worst consoles ever. My kids wont even play it, thed rather play angry birds on my phone/tablet. Just email netflix ever day about the xoom...bug the crap out of them

That would be nice, if they listed an email address or had a form to submit. Their customer service contact page only shows a phone number. But, I did just call and had a refreshingly frank discussion with the rep who answered my call. He said they were actively working on it and the issue was related to meeting studios' requirements for DRM in Honeycomb tablets. He was aware of the discussions here and on the other Xoom forum and he even said that some users had been able to change settings to make it work (he wasn't specific, but I presume he meant the build.prop device ID or something like that). I'm still running stock, so I told him this wasn't an option but I thanked him for his candor. He said it was definitely in development, but was unable to provide a timeframe.
I have to admit that his knowledge of the issue and his apparent honesty have me satisfied for the moment and willing to wait a while longer.

This whole thing with neflix cracked me up. I always thought their streaming selection was pretty weak, I only wanted the dvd's as the last rental place in my town went out of business. So I dropped the streaming part, kept the dvd's and saved $2 bucks. To add to that, I always end up using www.crackle.com as it's free and has lots of good movies and shows. It'll also work on the Xoom browser and on my ps3. Netflix screwed up, greedy company is greedy!

Crackle looks interesting but I can't use it without an almost immediate FC on my stock browser. And keeping a pc running at home while I travel, just so I can run a third party streamer, seems unnecessary. I, for 1, am willing to wait a bit longer... (at least until I find something better)

Playon has to be the biggest piece of crap, you can't even rewind with that or skip forward while playing Netflix, also if viewing Netflix thru playon it wont remember your position if you stop and resume later, splashtop is way better.

Chromecast + NFL Sunday Ticket (from Madden 25)...this could rock

So I don't know how many of you are big NFL fans like me, but if you are then there's a chance that you may have heard about the special edition of Madden NFL 25 that is currently available for preorder on Amazon. With this $99 edition, you of course get the game, but in addition you get a code for complete access to the online streaming version of NFL Sunday Ticket (all games, just as the normal DirecTV version would have), and you don't have to be a DirecTV subscriber to use it.
Anyways, I bought the special edition and will have it the end of August when it is released. All along I planned to simply bring my iMac into the living room, connect it with HDMI adapter cable, and watch the games that way. However, it looks like I've stumbled on a great setup - just have to fire up the Chrome on the iMac in the home office, Chromecast it in full screen to the livingroom, and boom, NFL Sunday Ticket on TV for 40 bucks! Absolutely can't wait to the first week of September to try this out!!! :good::good:

I considered this but Chromecast makes the alternative more enticing

I think he's talking about casting some OTHER content from the web to his TV. The 18+ kind....
But I definitely like your idea better. Myself, I am a MLB.TV subscriber and anxiously awaiting my CC :good:

He could also be referring to unofficial streaming video sites. That's how I watch the occasional Pats game when I'm not home. Not the best quality of course. Thanks to @joeski27 by the way. Hadn't heard about this special edition of Madden. I'll definitely take a look.

Well yeah, I mean I think we all know that all the porn fans will totally dig CC, that's a given. I was just pointing out another very cool idea for CC use...he might as well have popped into this thread and said "the NFL thing sounds cool, but my love of watching storm chaser videos on YouTube is so much more enticing"...what's the point? All I was doing was putting out what I thought to be a nifty idea specifically regarding NFL games. Anyways, good call on your end as well with the MLB idea, and eventually the same will be true for those who subscribe other major sports packages (NHL, NBA, etc) which allow subscribers to view content online. Really the YouTube/Netflix/etc. is the tip of the iceberg, and I think will be greatly overshadowed by many options to come for this device.

I did the same thing for many games the last couple of years (though my brother in law let me use his DirecTV password for online content when his father wasn't using it). This time I'm not messing around and decided that for the $40 extra with the Madden game I would guarantee myself every single game in reliably high quality...but now with CC it takes this plan concept to the next level, and for cheap. I know that if you look at the Madden 25 reviews on Amazon (not really reviews since it isn't out yet, just comments about the package really), the #1 thing people want to know is if they can stream the games from their PC/Mac to their PS3. Turns out the universal answer is a big fat no, meaning that - until now - they were stuck having to go with a hardwired PC-to-TV connection, which I resigned to doing for this upcoming season. I hadn't even thought about that aspect before buying my CC, but now that I have it it seems like extremely sweet icing on the cake for me!

Good looking out, I just now preordered that and I hate sports video games. Anyone want a copy of Madden 25 Anniversary edition that is only missing the NFL Sunday Ticket code? lol.

I'm not familiar with enough the CC on what limits and what kind of videos that it can play. I ordered one, but it was after the initial batch was sold out. I work nights, so I was asleep during the initial announcement.
I'm not sure if MLB will work. I know they use Flash Player, but it does some quirky stuff.
As for the rest, they could work. For those that have used these services, you know what you're getting. I personally use the international version of these service with a VPN. Then I can always be out of whatever market is being blacked out; it's nice to be "in" a different country for those national broadcasts. Personally, I've been using a HTPC for a few years, so this device is going to replace anything and will be more limited than the HTPC. I think it could be interesting see what people can do with it. May make it easier for those temporary setups at others' homes.
On a side note, the international NFL online service is free for those in the Netherlands, which normally runs around $200 to $250. Additional $50 for playoffs. I think they PS3/DirectTV thing runs a little over $300 if you don't have DIrectTV and Sunday Ticket. I don't know the cost if you already do and just want PS3 or mobile access, but I would assume more than $40.

MLBtv works just fine on CC. Tested it last night. For unofficial streams, first row worked really well too. I watched NFL Network using my CC for about an hour last night.

I use the NFL Game Pass service. It's a service that's available outside the USA and it's territories. Not all geographical regions, such as Canada, have it available, but Europe does. Here are some video comparisons of the NFL Game Pass versus local cable TV.
The nice thing about the NFL Game Pass, they have an Android app that lets you watch the live and replays, and also the NFL Network. You just have the get APK from someone outside the USA since Google changed how the store checks where you, so MarketEnabler doesn't work now. Maybe they'll update the app for CC. That would be interesting and cool.
They nice thing about the Game Pass service, the quality of service is more reliable and consistent. I've used sites like FrontRow, and you just never know what quality your'e going to get. The big knock, you need to get a VPN service which can run additional $8 to $15 a month on top of the cost of the service. And with VPNs and sports, you definitely want a paid VPN so you have enough bandwidth. For me, since I cut the cord and watch sports all year round, it's something I use almost everyday, so it pays for itself.
I've been using alternatives to watch sports for going on three years. So, I'm pretty familiar with how to get most sports and with good quality. I use both the PC and Android mobile devices..

New NFL Game Pass app
I have been having so much fun with my NFL GamePass app. Until they updated the app. When I opened it this afternoon, a message said it required an update from the store. Of course, I can't go to the UK play store for the new app.
Sux!!!
Maybe someone across the pond can post the new app apk? That would be lovely.

Actually, you can asssuming you have downloaded it from Google Play before. If so, open Google Play, go to your apps, then All (next to installed), and just scroll down till you hit NFL Game Pass. And they now it where it's one app for both phones and tablets. The new version is needed to see the games, but NFL Network still works on the old (it works on the new one too).

This could be very interesting, my concern would be this statement, "For fans who are not currently DirecTV subscribers but are able to receive DirecTV service, they will receive a promo code entitling them to $10 off per month for their first year of service and one year of NFL Sunday Ticket Max at no additional charge."
How do they determine if you can receive the service? Or just a matter of BSing

still no
I didn't download it from the store originally because I couldn't get into the UK store last week. I was able to put it on my ipad thpugh. I'll just wait amd see when someone uploads the new apk.

Using Gear VR to play non-VR Android games.

Okay, so I've done a fair amount of looking around and since I was unable to come up with any information on how to do this, it's likely not possible. First thing, I admit I have yet to receive my promotional Gear VR from purchasing a Galaxy S7 Edge on a pre-order. I have just been trying to figure out what the VR is capable of doing. In particular I've been trying to figure out if it was possible to play games like Walking War Robots or Modern Combat 5 with the Gear VR. Had anybody had any luck with playing any NON-VR games with their Gear VR? I understand that it would be quite unlikely to have the software render these games in true 3D, but I'm more-or-less trying to find a way to play a standard game in a split screen view so it just looks like a large screen in front of my face. I don't think it would be too hard to take the original video output of a game and double it up in split screen for it to be used like this, but I'm no programmer, and wouldn't know where to begin. I would use my phone with an MHL adapter but I've been told it isn't compatible, but that's for another forum topic. If anyone has any info on any of this I'd appreciate it if you could get back to me. If this hasn't been done yet, but is possible, some developer could potentially make a lot of money making an app that would split the video output of a standard game. Thanks in advance to anyone who has any info on doing this.

Yes i'm also interested in this post. When you can only play normal non-vr games in 2D It's enough.

Holy word-wrap Batman. Sorry, your post was very hard to read without spaces but I will read slowly and try again (not to be jerk but it was honestly hard to read).
Okay, so you CAN play non-VR games with the Gear VR but it involves a few different things.
First off, you need a decent PC and a good bandwidth connection to stream to the phone.
Second, there are softwares out there that will turn your games into 3D - the most inclusive one is TrinusVR <---very easy to use, the harder one is Tridef 3D but the results are nicer graphically.
Third, it becomes hard to control with the Gear VR, so it really depends on what the game is and what support there is.
If you have Stream Theatre via the SideloadVR App, try that out. You need Steam on your computer as well. Pair that up with head-tracking such as FacetrackNoIR or Opentrack, you should be set

Thanks for this answer but I think we mean play non-vr android games or apps from our phone on the gear vr. So Normal apps which are already on the phone. When it's only 2D it's enough.

^Ah I completely misunderstood, sorry! But here is the question, most games use touch, how would you play without the touch if the gear vr is on your face?

And yes, we can play steam games with Gear VR! !!

No problem?
I've connected my ds4 controller with my S7 so can play some games with it but I was wondering if it was also possible by using the gear vr to open normal apps like PlayStation remote and play as second screen with the gear vr

Yes, that would be very cool if there was a way but if you think about it from a technical perspective, you are changing the game resolution on the phone to split into two screens vs. streaming content which is easier to split into Side-by-side.
I will still keep hope, though! I know there is a way to play Android games on your phone...lol that would be too complicated:
Android -> to PC->stream back to phone in 3D

Not to mention the lag that would entail from multiple conversions...

This is for rooted devices only. But it looks like it will work. Once I work up the nerve, and figure it how, to root my brand new GS7 I'll give it another shot. Thanks for the add!

Notice they don't mention that in their app description in the play store?

Also not for an S6 apparently. Supports something like 11 devices.

This is how
I have been playing emulator games in VR since yesterday (legend of dragoon, ff9), and even watched a little vr porn.
You need to get PACKAGE DISABLER PRO. It does cost $1.95, but its more than worth it. I registered just to post this so i cant link yet
Disable gear vr service, then you can do whatever you want in VR. This requires no root. Also apps that work with cardboard can work with hear vr. So in my case epsxe emulator has cardboard support, which means gear vr Support
Thank me later like drake

This is old news. Except the "do whatever you want in VR". Just isn't true.

Holy word-wrap Batman. Sorry, your post was very hard to read without spaces but I will read slowly and try again (not to be jerk but it was honestly hard to read).
Okay, so you CAN play non-VR games with the Gear VR but it involves a few different things.
First off, you need a decent PC and a good bandwidth connection to stream to the phone.
Second, there are softwares out there that will turn your games into 3D - the most inclusive one is TrinusVR <---very easy to use, the harder one is Tridef 3D but the results are nicer graphically.
Third, it becomes hard to control with the Gear VR, so it really depends on what the game is and what support there is.
If you have Stream Theatre via the SideloadVR App, try that out. You need Steam on your computer as well. Pair that up with head-tracking such as FacetrackNoIR or Opentrack, you should be set

Seems you missed the point of my original post. I realize I can port PC games to my phone for VR use, but I want to play games that are meant for android on my gear in the original format, just split screen for the image of a large screen directly in front of me. And what we're you talking about word-wrap? There's clearly a space between all of my words. Shall I double space for you next time?

Oh, great! I can imagine the s7 edge won't be one either then.

My apologies for misunderstanding, that native SBS app seems worthy but have not tried it with a rooted device yet. As for your word-space issue, I did not see any paragraphs so the sentences were hard to read. Good luck.
