I don't mind the new dash too bad. Did like the previous one better though.
I do mind the new Netflix app though. Does anyone know how to restart a movie that you watched previously back to the beginning? For example, my daughter loves Tangled so we watch it to the end and then a few days later she'll want to watch it again. When we start it back up it's on the end credits where we left it. The only thing I found to do is the high speed rewind back through the whole movie.
The previous interface had resume play and restart play.

I like the new dash, but I agree on Netflix.
My boy wanted to watch an episode of Phineas and Ferb today. It automatically selected one to play, navigating the other episodes was not real intuitive, and I couldn't tell which ones we had seen before and which ones we hadn't. Either it's got a learning curve or it's just not as easy to use as the previous version.

Speaking of Bing, anyone still doing the Rewards thing? I've been pretty diligent and recently accumulated enough credits to get another 400 point MS card. Turns out they don't offer that denomination anymore, just 100 MS point cards for 125 Bing credits. (Actually, when I first checked, they were going for 150 credits, but thankfully they lowered it to the equivalent of the 400 MS point card rate.) And I don't think there's a limit to how many you can get anymore.
Yeah, the rewards took a nose dive a week or so ago. I had been saving up for a $25 Best Buy/Target gift card, and then all the higher point choices were gone. The smaller ones now don't seem to have a limit on how many times you can redeem for them, so I could get 5-6 Amazon $5 gift cards or may go back to the MS points for Trine 2 next week.

After the 60% price hike and the failed attempt to split their company I can't say I'm surprised that the software has taken a nosedive.

Your preaching to the choir. The auto play sucks.

I tried looking around their website and can't find an area where I can send general feedback. The contact us area on the site is more oriented to technical issues with the site or problems with streaming/mailing of DVDs.

I just called Netflix at 1-888-638-3549 and told them about the problem. I recommend anyone else upset with the changes do the same. You get faster service if you know your Service Code. To get the Service Code, log into your account from a computer, and click the Service Code box at the bottom. That will generate a six digit number that you enter in the keypad when you call.

Another aggravation...when you scroll through the netflix queue, once you highlight a movie's cover art, it all of the sudden changes to some random still pic from the movie. Sure it isn't something major, but it aggravates me.

Is the Bastion DLC a discount at 80 points or is that the regular price?

If you download the UFC app you can get the Lesner fight free. This one isn't restricted to beta users either, I just got the HD stream free. It's on the dashboard. They said it's a christmas gift.

Doing a Google search, it appears that was the regular price of this DLC. Apparently, the developers wanted it to be free (and it is on the PC), but MS wouldn't let it be free on the 360, so they made it for as cheap as they could -- 80 points.

I didn't know if $1 was cheap enough, so I'll wait until it's $0.50

It's already more like .50 for me, just didn't want it to jump back up to $1.

Yeah, just turned on my Xbox, saw the UFC app was there, so downloaded it...and it says UFC 141 is sold out. I was like WTF? Until I came here and saw they were offering it free.

Major Nelson said the released more slots for the UFC fight about an hour ago, so if you're still looking for sweaty man-on-man action, I guess there's still hope!
