Newcomb's problem is widely accepted as being related to the prisoner's dilemma. If you 2-box in Newcomb's problem, you'll never cooperate in (one-shot) PD, which is generally considered to have real-world applications.
This seems strange to me. It seems that someone sufficiently altruistic or utilitarian would cooperate on a one-shot PD, since it's not a zero-sum game (except in weird hypothetical land) and that would have no bearing on what choice one might make on Newcomb's.
ETA: for some payoff matrices.
