Netflix on a NES

Postby scotland171 » March 12th, 2015, 5:50 pm

Folks at Netflix had a team building day, and one team got some Netflix type of experience on an unmodified NES. In the video you can see about 4 seconds of House of Cards as a horrid 8 bit full motion video.

My friend Jesse Ventura says this points to a conspiracy to suppress FMV in the 8 bit era. At the least, this is just was a neat way to spend a day bootstrapping your childhood console while getting paid (despite Gizmondo being so grumpy about the whole thing)

This is really cool. I can't believe they got this to work. That's awesome.
