UPDATE: The Xbox's Netflix feed has been updated with the missing shows and movies. Still, a weekend without this content is more than enough to continue raging against.

While I was able to get in plenty of game time this weekend (continuing my enjoyment of Metal Gear Solid 3 and WWE ’12 in the process), I spent even more time splayed across my futon, remote in hand as I watched various Blu-rays and streamed Netflix shows. As per my holiday plans, I checked out Attack the Block, thanks to a BR disc borrowed from Fran, but I also fired up the most popular video platform today — Netflix Streaming.

I devoted much of the weekend to lazy, fluffy, inconsequential programming (meant for viewing while I surfed the internet, did chores, or played an iPhone game), which normally wouldn’t make for a good round-up – not only are The Cleveland Show and Storage Wars of middling quality, they’ve also been on the service for ages. However, in my hours of video consumption, I came across a weird anomaly — videos that were unavailable on the Xbox 360 while viewable on all other platforms. Time will tell if they become available soon, but here’s the stuff I would have watched more of, had the Xbox 360 cooperated.

How I Met Your Mother, Seasons 1-6

The series that started my quest, and whose invisibility has irked many. While I’ve watched the series before, via Netflix version 1.0 (renting discs and watching them feverishly fast), the show is great Netflix fodder. It’s got plenty of callbacks, jokes that take weeks to develop, and an overarching story that ties into the show. I hoped to relive more of Ted Mosby’s search for his future wife, but I didn’t fire up my PS3 nearly enough to catch up on it.

Teen Wolf

I’m willing to indulge in campy crap from time to time (yes, that is Glee in my recently watched history in the previous entry), which is why I would’ve given Teen Wolf a shot. I’ve seen the original movie enough to be curious to see how a modern-day take would fare. At the very least, I wonder if it can be as bad as the Jason Bateman-led sequel.

Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog

Even though Mario got all of the Saturday morning glory during the early ’90s, I have a soft spot for Sonic’s first cartoon go-round. Whether it was Jaleel “Urkel” White’s vocal stylings, the lack of post-Tails character additions, or the cartoony take on the game’s title screen, I would’ve loved to watch some classic Sonic. Unfortunately, the only choice on the Xbox this weekend was the late ’90s "attitude" revamp Sonic Underground.

Phineas and Ferb: Across the Second Dimension

I’m genuinely curious about P&F. I’ve heard good things about the show’s generation-spanning appeal; I’ve got a niece, nephew, and friends with kids that are probably neck-deep in the show’s humor and style; and I’ve seen enough SpongeBob SquarePants episodes to know that the likes of Disney and Nickelodeon can still put out adult-friendly kids shows. Alas, I must apologize to the children I know… I still have no idea what Phineas and Ferb is all about.

I’ve asked Netflix about this weirdness (though many message-board commenters have replied that the Xbox’s feed is likely lagging behind the other platforms), but missing out on quality programming during the long weekend felt like a real kick in the holiday-weekend sweatpants. Here’s hoping it doesn’t become a reoccurring problem during the holidays.
