NXE on the Netflix Bleeding Edge With HD Streaming

A small perk -- but huge deal as far as we're concerned -- is the inclusion of a limited amount of HD content. We previewed Heroes in HD, and the quality was stunning. Right now there's only about 300 titles on offer, but we think after folks get a taste of this, they'll be begging for some expansion.

first... sorry always wanted to


still, i dont see no freeview tv on the 360, but good expansion none the less.

This might just persuade me to renew my netflix subscription...

That is fantastically awesome news!

OH SNAP!  That is truly exciting news!  I was secretly hoping for this but didnt really think they would deliver it, not at launch anyways.  Heroes in HD Steaming!  HELL YES!!!  =D

I believe Netflix is only US so means nothing to us. Sad cause it sounds like a great idea.

I've been wanting to get a NetFlix membership.  Now I'm going to wait to see what kind of sweet new deals they're going to offer to grab new members! :)
Personally, I'm excited for the NXE.  I just hope that I can get red muttochops on my avatar... :P

--EDIT--
I thought Major Nelson announced last month (or something like that. Dates have been confusing since losing power for 18 days after Hurricane Ike and trying to catch up on old podcasts) that the NetFlix thing was not going to be available at lauch of NXE, but was planned for later roll-out.  I guess somehting changed.

This might be the thing that puts me over the edge and gets me to subscribe to netflix.  Man my friends would love me, being able to watch a movie on a whim like that....god that'd be amazing.

DeusEx: I believe it was the PrimeTime channel that wouldn't be available on launch.

DeusEx, Netflix will still be available at the launch of the NXE, however, movie sharing in your party will be coming later on down the road... maybe a spring update...

This is amazing news!!...............but I hope the buffering times won't be epic long cus its HD.

Well it just might be time for me to get a netflix account.

File under: Hell Yes

I was a Netflix member for a little while, till I got tired of the USPS middleman.  I ended my netflix membership thus.  Still the online "watch whenever" was almost a selling point.  If this works on the 360 then Netflix just became super awesome.  Time to cancel the cable TV service and just have high speed internet.

Quick question here as I can't find the answer on the Netflix website :(

Netflix here I come.

Oh my God, I wish this was available in Canada. :[

Man, I don't see why its so hard to pay for a full price movie these days and keep forever.

Because somes movies aren't worth keeping forever.

Wow. This NXE sounds pretty good.

Wait, it's not for Canada?  ...Nice

lol Jeff! Nice Avatar!!!

Sweetness.

Time to subscribe to netflix.  They should really work a deal that if you're a Gold member Netflix should be like 10 bucks a month.

Any news about the UK version, if it even exists?

tmontana1004 speaks the truth.

Makes the whole HDDVD vs Blu-ray drama of the past year so utterly silly now. DDFTW!

So, why exactly can't the UK have this again?

Thanks, Microsoft, for being equal!

I'd use netflix, if it was in the uk aswell.

ballin! great feature. good thing i already have netflix, and have over 100 movies in my instant queue ready for NXE

Drum rollllllllllll!

This is so jokes.

This is freaking amazing.

Where's the GB video preview?

I definitely think I want to sign up for Netflix.  Hopefully they can get a bunch of HD content up.  They also just released the instant streaming for mac which I was also waiting for.

I'm really looking forward to trying it out, because their current streaming is pretty crappy.

I may just have to get netflix.

once again MS completely forgets/snubs us neighbors up north.
