Today's Xbox 360 update adds Netflix support. The only problem is you need a gold Live account. Otherwise it seems to work the same as the PS3.

A few decient adds in "Airheads", "Brokedown Palace", "Batman: The Movie", and "White Men Can't Jump".
That is worth the price of admission alone. MST3K: The final sacrifice is the cream of the crop. And not just because it was filmed outside Calgary by some SAIT students for $1500 bucks. That has always been one of my all time favorites, and I didn't realize until viewing it a few days ago it had a local connection. Definitely 5 star viewing. ROWSDOWER!!!11!1!1one!!!

Would the web browser on the Xbox be able to view the videos through the web site? If it is anything like the PS3 browser, probably not.

The "Gold" thing is ridiculous. What is Microsoft adding to Netflix, other than nothing?

Just got Netflix yesterday and am really likeing it so far.

Hopefully we get the same amount of content that the Americans currently have to stream because at this time they have a lot better selection.

Still it is really good and worth the 7.99 a month

Xbox is definitely easier to navigate than wii, i found.

At this point, the selection doesn;t justify the cost... even at $8. Who wants to watch movies from 1993?

If I was to get it, it would be for TV series and the kids programming. The few movies on there really are not worth more than a weeks total watching at this point.

I just finished watching IP Man on Netflix and definitely recommend it as a Hidden Gem (I hadn't heard of it until seeing it on Netflix). I'm usually not one for Martial Arts movies but this one was really well done and I enjoyed every minute of it.

One of many positive reviews:

"It's not often that one gets the opportunity to use the word "masterpiece" when talking about a martial arts film, but this one has definitely earned the label."

I've been using it since the weekend, mostly watching TV shows. There are a few shows I've gotten into late, so missed the first few seasons, and I've been able to start watching the ones from the beginning. Also found a few shows that I'd never heard of, but look interesting. The movie selection isn't great, but the tv shows alone make it worth it for me.

I also found there are more things available that they don't show the thumbnails for if you do a search, which is kind of strange.

It has Jennifer's Body ... that's only a year old. No boobs though. I guess that's the trade-off.

What TV shows on there did you find worth watching? All I see is Dead Zone, Babar, etc....

Mad Men, Weeds, Heroes, Dead like me, SNL (if you are into that kinda thing)

Dora, Sponge Bob, The Cat in the Hat knows about that, Blues Clues for the kids.

Just the fact that it means my PVR isn't filled with 50+ Dora episodes for my daughter means it is almost worth it for me. Add in the other kids shows and shows I would like to see and it is a no brainer.

That said, without new content I doubt I would keep a subscription longer than 3-4 months.

I cancelled my account. I'll wait for improved content.

For every "new" movie (2008-2009) there are 50 new movies from 1950-1970. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure some of those are gems but most are unwatchable.
