Netflix Drops Video Game Rental Plans

Netflix CEO Reed Hastings stated to investors during the week that Netflix now has “no plans” to add video games to its rental services. This comes on the tail of the announcement that the video service had plans to expand into the video game front and offer a rental service. I guess they felt that this was best left to services such as Gamefly and Blockbuster.

Hastings did state that Netflix is looking into expanding the firm into offering 3D film and TV content through the streaming service. Netflix launched in the UK and Europe earlier this month.
