HD Netflix coming to Xbox live

[h0lmes]

I sold my 360 a while back so I would stop wasting my time playing games. Now I might have to buy one again just to take advantage of this. This is a huge deal if you ask me.

Yeah I just sold mine recently too, shitty.

[scabzzzz]

Yeah Ive been eagerly awaiting the release of the new Xbox Live for this very reason.

I picked up another Xbox actually just to be able to watch movies in my room too. :X

Well at least you guys that sold them are lucky in some ways. Now they are only $199 Vs the $500 when I purchased mine. And they come with the new chips and a warranty!

It makes X-Box have a competitive edge over Ps3 in my book!

Sweet. This should be cool.

Lol, I sold my 360 about a year ago so I wouldn't spend so much time on it(but I came back... like everyone does). I don't plan on taking advantage of Netflix, but I am looking forward to the big update.

Anyone play soul calibur 4?

the playstation network launched its own hd movie rental and purchase option a few months ago. although it is not "powered" by netflix it still offers downloadable movies and tv series episodes. having netflix behind it should be cool, also streaming may work better than having to down load every show.

Fucking awesome. I was buying one in a couple of weeks anyway, for Gears of War 2.

the only difference is that the HD netflix stuff is going to be free for people who are netflix subscribers, so you won't be paying anything extra for renting them directly to your console.
