You use your PC to add movies to your 'instant' queue. You then sign on through Xbox Live (gold) to get the Netflix download. You will then receive an activation code through the xbox that you then type in your Netlix account through your PC.netflixs on xbox 360
ya kinda sucks right now like hokie said you have to add it through ur pc KEEP in mind it has to be ''instantly watch'' only of course apparently theres a diff way to use the xbox netflix combo that has some advantages its called vmcnetflix u can save to ur harddrive and browse the instantly watch library on ur 360 instead of bouncing from pc to xbox heres the comparison link http://lifehacker.com/5093641/official-netflix-streaming-on-xbox-360-isnt-bad-but-you-can-do-better site has alot of cool stuff on it btw

The other part on your PC is just keeping your queue updated which you do anyway.

yes it is a bit annoying, the fact that u have to que your movies on your computer and also the fact that these instant movies are actually pretty old

Well damn how old is National Treasure 2? That is in my list right now... Now i will agree with you many of the movies are older, but that doesn't change the fact that i haven't seen them. I have not yet seen Scarface and plan on watching it later this week (thru the stream).



Also it isn't really that annoying knowing that no matter what you need to use a PC for netflix (or other online web browsing device). You have to use it to set up anything, from your DVD queue to your instant queue. Now it could get annoying if you only set one movie in your queue at a time because then you will have to do that a lot. Right now i have 6 movies in mine and it only took me about 15 minutes to find them (felt like sleeping after checking it out so i stopped).



I do like the feature a lot to be honest. I like when i had my free trial of the movie channels like Starz or HBO (during the day time....) because i watched a ton of movies, but then my trial was over. This way i can watch a lot of movies too. I already watched James and the Giant Peach (sorry i liked it as a kid and had to check it out for nostalgia), Major Payne.... i love it, and the Full Metal Alchemist movie (i like the Anime).
well im not taking away the fact that netflix is a great feature on xbox i love it matter fact and i myself have 6 movies inque too but it is a bit annoying just the fact that i have to browse movies on my pc to know what i want to watch when 360 is considered a media center and i cannot watch any new arrivals instantly.
