This basically merges the two and gives you another way to access your netflix account without having to sit in front of a computer with your honey (or wait a day for mail) to enjoy snuggling with a movie.

In short...it's MS's answer to blu-ray. It's their investment into digital distribution which they believe will trump any optical disk in the long run (especially as netflix goes HD).

Personally...I think they are right.]]>Jul 14th 2008 5:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/14/netflix-on-xbox-360-and-falls-revamped-dashboard-guide-detail/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/14/netflix-on-xbox-360-and-falls-revamped-dashboard-guide-detail/Jul 14th 2008 5:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/14/netflix-on-xbox-360-and-falls-revamped-dashboard-guide-detail/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/14/netflix-on-xbox-360-and-falls-revamped-dashboard-guide-detail/Jul 14th 2008 5:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/14/netflix-on-xbox-360-and-falls-revamped-dashboard-guide-detail/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/14/netflix-on-xbox-360-and-falls-revamped-dashboard-guide-detail/Jul 14th 2008 5:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/14/netflix-on-xbox-360-and-falls-revamped-dashboard-guide-detail/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/14/netflix-on-xbox-360-and-falls-revamped-dashboard-guide-detail/

2) $50 yearly gold membership for a good portion of them

3) Deduct operational/advertising costs

4) Profit!!]]>Jul 14th 2008 5:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/14/netflix-on-xbox-360-and-falls-revamped-dashboard-guide-detail/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/14/netflix-on-xbox-360-and-falls-revamped-dashboard-guide-detail/
X-box reaches 13 million. A very good number, they have done good.
But iTunes reaches over 400 million viewers. I'm surprised netflix tried this honestly.

But that's cool for x box ppl. Rock on]]>Jul 14th 2008 5:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/14/netflix-on-xbox-360-and-falls-revamped-dashboard-guide-detail/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/14/netflix-on-xbox-360-and-falls-revamped-dashboard-guide-detail/
Microsoft saw what the PS3 did to help Blu-Ray succeed, and they're not stupid. A mutually beneficial package means more value for Gold subscribers, and more opportunity for Netflix. This adds to both company's portfolios. ]]>Jul 14th 2008 5:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/14/netflix-on-xbox-360-and-falls-revamped-dashboard-guide-detail/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/14/netflix-on-xbox-360-and-falls-revamped-dashboard-guide-detail/
Don't think I've ever paid for anything in iTunes even though I have an iPhone and iPod nano,

However, I have rented movies on my Xbox, just so much nicer on my TV then on my iPhone]]>Jul 14th 2008 6:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/14/netflix-on-xbox-360-and-falls-revamped-dashboard-guide-detail/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/14/netflix-on-xbox-360-and-falls-revamped-dashboard-guide-detail/
There are millions fewer AppleTV devices out there, and yet many people around here think that it is a success.

But attach a Microsoft name to it, and suddenly it is a failure?]]>Jul 14th 2008 6:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/14/netflix-on-xbox-360-and-falls-revamped-dashboard-guide-detail/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/14/netflix-on-xbox-360-and-falls-revamped-dashboard-guide-detail/
I have to agree with you. Anything that represents less than double digits percent it's not big deal. What's Apple OS world market share these days?

But if you have a gold membership...and a netflix membership....you CAN access your netflix membership through your gold membership for no extra charge.

It's not fair especially given we pay far far more for Xbox 360 games and accessories than other regions, yet get nothing in return.]]>Jul 14th 2008 5:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/14/netflix-on-xbox-360-and-falls-revamped-dashboard-guide-detail/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/14/netflix-on-xbox-360-and-falls-revamped-dashboard-guide-detail/Jul 14th 2008 6:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/14/netflix-on-xbox-360-and-falls-revamped-dashboard-guide-detail/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/14/netflix-on-xbox-360-and-falls-revamped-dashboard-guide-detail/
I'm going to have to have some quality time with my classic dashboard before they take him away.

Since if I buy them at microsoft norway or something like that, it'll be illegal for them to just remove content I've paid for :) If I send money directly to the US for them though, norwegian laws to not apply :/

Be easy guy, its not like it was fully explained or posted all over the place. 90% of those who hate the new look didnt even know about that, I myself. Plus the passage in the post :

"Don't like the new Dashboard look or avatars? Sorry, sucka, it's a mandatory update. Hey, at least it's free"
makes it sound like you didnt have a choice in the end. So relaaax. :)]]>Jul 14th 2008 7:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/14/netflix-on-xbox-360-and-falls-revamped-dashboard-guide-detail/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/14/netflix-on-xbox-360-and-falls-revamped-dashboard-guide-detail/Jul 14th 2008 7:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/14/netflix-on-xbox-360-and-falls-revamped-dashboard-guide-detail/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/14/netflix-on-xbox-360-and-falls-revamped-dashboard-guide-detail/Sep 30th 2008 7:48PM
