I want to know so I know whether to call my girlfriend to turn on my xbox before I get home from work so it's all set up for me when I get home. I don't really want to miss the intro video either.

3 minutes. and you can watch the intro anytime.

I saw a Gears themed one and the background behind the avatar looked straight outta GOW.

Yeep... With Gears I got a Premium theme, and the stuff behind what would be everyone's avatars change with the premium themes.. It is pretty cool.

Thanks for the quick reply. It's good to know that all I'll have to wait for is loading up some games on the hard drive. I know for sure Rock Band 2 will be first on the list.

I can't wait for this update. Time to join up on Netflix again. :D2:

So for those with PlayOn and NXE, is Netflix playback any better with NXE? Or about the same? Because if it's about the same I'm going to try to get Decker to buy my one year Gold membership and just keep PlayOn :D

BWA-Ha-Ha!!!!

I was actually showing a friend the avatars and other stuff and I changed it. I didn't even realize it would update the image here. LOL

Not sure who hasn't jumped on the Gears 2 train yet, but I noticed that in both Meijer and Toys R Us ads today they had the LE pictured with the standard $59 price.

Raul3 11-16-08 05:07 PM

Well, I just started seeing all the avatars in my friend list yesterday. Since I don't have NXE yet I'd say that I prefer the gamer pictures better and that those avatars look too wii-esque. Of course my opinion can change in a few days. :p

Michael Corvin 11-16-08 07:51 PM

So I assume when I'm watching Netflix it still only shows "watching a video" to people on my friends list and not, say, Land Before Time 9, right?

xmiyux 11-16-08 07:53 PM

I saw someone on my friends list last night and it just said: Netflix

If i chose their name it still just said "Netflix" and not what they were watching.

Quake1028 11-16-08 08:38 PM

Don't worry Corvin, For Boys Only 10 won't be visible to us ;).

GatorDeb 11-16-08 09:02 PM

So is there any benefit over PlayOn that would make it worth it the extra $40 a year for Gold membership for Netflix viewing?

THANK YOU!!!! :) Do you want to buy a 13 month Gold membership for $39 if I don't like it? :)

Thanks again!

How much space does a normal game take up? I wish I had a bigger hard drive than the 20.

If you're going to use Live for Netflix only, then I don't think it's worth the $39. The Gold membership is mainly for onine multiplayer gaming. Everything else that comes with a Gold account, including Netflix, is just gravy.
