If you're logged in to XBox Live, whenever any of your friends logs in or out, a message pops up on your screen saying so, along with a little notification sound.<br> <br> I generally find this fine when using the XBox to play a game, but unfortunately, it also happens when you are logged into XBox Live in order to watch a movie that you're streaming from Netflix. I find this extremely distracting, and mildly annoying.<br> <br> I've looked for an option to turn this off, and googled and such, but haven't been able to find a way to get this to stop, short of de-friending all my friends. Is there a way? tag:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.109193 Sun, 14 Dec 2008 12:28:32 -0800 extremelydistractingandmildlyannoyingpopupmessage movies netflix resolved streaming xbox xbox360 xboxlive Flunkie
