After years and years of promoting the Xbox 360 in Japan, Microsoft still only sells around 2,000 a week in the land of the rising sun. Last week, sales statistics showed that the XBox 360 was being outsold by Playstation 2 consoles. Mind boggling isn't it?

So in my household, we're finally getting into the whole Netflix thing. My parents are kinda addicted to it, and I'm sorta getting into it via my entire weekend viewing marathon of House, 24, and Gilmore Girls.
