DallasBlowsBig Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Anyone have/used Netflix on 360? Just wondering if it's as good as Netflix in the mail, I heard the HD content is limited but is it decent HD selection? Was thinking of trying it for a few months, seems like a better deal than buying a few On-Demand movies per month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rdskn4Lyf21 Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 EXTREMELY limited.... I was using it until RROD struck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PalmettoRedskin Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 I have it and use it quite often. The movies to watch instantly are somewhat limited. I've caught up on t.v. shows like Weeds and The Office. I actually watched the pilot episode of 90210 a couple days ago. In my defense I'm traveling for work! Don't judge me:silly: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sir Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 I love it, there's a pretty good selection on there, just don't expect anything very new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travdaskin Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 no I haven't used it yet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.Rob Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 I think all the TV shows they have on there makes it worth it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinned Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 I have it and have used it a good bit in the past. I get 2 dvds in the mail (so I can keep seeing the new stuff and use my blu-ray player) and then can watch unlimited via the 360. Was able to watch some old seasons of Sliders and 30 Rock. I like the convenience of it but do wish they would get the new stuff on there to make it perfect. Anyone know if this is in the plans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 I use the instant streaming with my fiancee. The tv series have a much better selection. There are some good movies, but the instant streaming selection is kinda limited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heisenberg Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 I love Netflix - it's worth having even without the streaming aspect, and that's coming from someone who bought it originally for the streaming content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RammsteinSkins Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 I love it. After I finish my 3 I get from mail, I just kick back and watch some movie through there and I think they have a good selection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DButz65 Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Whats cool is if you happen to find a movie in your que and watch it via the xbox, it doesnt count towards the # of CD's you normally get per month. But not every movie in your que is available that way... its supposed to get bigger and better at some point i read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redskins0756 Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Anyone have/used Netflix on 360? Just wondering if it's as good as Netflix in the mail, I heard the HD content is limited but is it decent HD selection? Was thinking of trying it for a few months, seems like a better deal than buying a few On-Demand movies per month. I don't know about the HD content because I don't have an HDTV hooked up to my Xbox ($$ is tight). But what I can tell you from the standard definition service is that there is a pretty good selection. Obviously not every new release will be there but enough well known shows and movies are available to make it worth it. My only gripe is that the actual player they use for the video is buggy. Sometimes it won't buffer, the video will be choppy but when I turn on/off my Xbox it will work, and other little nuances. Hopefully in subsequent updates they can fix that but it isn't to the point where it's unusable, just some minor flaws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
