I am not disappointed at all by the streaming quality of Netflix on the 360. I was watching The Office streaming in HD, and it looked just as good as it does on NBC HD. I was very impressed by that. I have a very fast broadband connection, so that helps. My friend in the city has a pretty low level broadband plan, so his video quality suffers a bit.
What I'm NOT impressed with is the selection. After I got sick of watching re-runs of The Office, a couple of other TV shows, and a movie or two, there was almost nothing else in their streaming library that I was interested in watching. I did not extend my Netflix account beyond the two week trial.
If I find out that the instant streaming selection gets significantly better, Netflix then becomes a no-brainer and I will happily sign up for the monthly membership.
