Has anyone heard when Netflix will be available on xbox?

posted in netflix |

They announced in June that Netflix service would be available on Xbox360’s in the late fall. I had seen things on the Marketplace home for a while, but haven’t heard anything since. In fact, on the Netflix website, they did have something about it, but it has been taken off. Have they canceled this, or delayed it, or what?

It goes live on the 19th of this month. You have to have both an Xbox Live Gold membership as well as a Netflix membership to watch the streaming movies. In order to use the service, you have to first login to your Netflix account online via your computer and fill your instant watch movie queue with movies that are available for instant play. You then will be able to access those movies in your queue from your 360. You won’t be able to simply browse movies on your 360, they have to be added online. It does offer HD quality picture though, unlike the usual streaming video you may be used to, which usually may look like a Godzilla movie with out of sync sound and grainy picture. Overall this is a great service that will only improve as time goes by.

    The NXE update, which includes Netflix among other things, is 19th November.
    However there’s only a small percentage of the Netflix library available for the 360 on the NXE luanch.
