Video: Netflix on the Xbox 360 demoed
Posted Jul 21st 2008 5:00PM by Dustin Burg
Curious to see how Netflix on the Xbox 360 works? If so, check out one of Major Nelson's latest Inside Xbox video features showing off the new movie watching functionality. Watch in awe at the seamless integration between the 360's dashboard and the Netflix.com queue, as standard defintion video enjoyment is streamed to the console in quite a technologically interesting process. View the vid and make sure you have a Netflix account come this Fall, because after viewing this demo, you'll more than likely be interested.

It's hard to complain about a basically free service for certain people but, the video quality is only as good as VHS. Now that most of us are used to HD quality video, how many of us are really going to take two steps backwards and watch a service like this on a regular basis? I still think we are at least 5 years away from instant on-demand HD video and it can't come soon enough.

Mine went all wonky yesterday with the only slightly less dreaded unreadable disc error. It would have been a year old in Sept. It makes me want to start buying games for my PS3 instead but, warts and all, I've become very attached to the 360 interface and controller and don't feel like switching. And here's the best part -- my wife works at M$ but she gets no special treatment and must send the 360 off just like everyone else. What's the point of working for the evil empire if you don't get any evil perks?

Hah, funny thing. My Elite died yesterday too. I got it in Nov 07.
This one lasted longer than the first two. This one was manufactured in Oct. 06.
