Netflix 360 Improvements
Michael Wolf- Wednesday, August 12, 2009
Let me say, the latest software rev for the 360 has some very nice improvements. Sure, the avatar and full-game download marketplace are very cool, but most impressive to me is the new and improved Netflix app. I’ve gotten used to using my browser to add movies to my Netflix Watch Instantly queue for my 360, so I’d grown somewhat apathetic around the idea of TV based browsing. But after trying it last night, I was very impressed. Movie browsing is much easier than any grid-guide browsing, which tells me that the future of guides may look something like, well, the Xbox 360. And as for the watch-party capability on Netflix, I think its a cool idea – but without having tried it out, I can’t give a full review yet. Still, kudos to Microsoft for pushing social TV.
