I barely use it on 360 anymore. Netflix is built into my TV and I use it one Wii U and portable devices. I hate how they gutted the 360 version, too. Horrible. I think they made it the way they did to accommodate Kinect. Good for Kinect users but garbage for everyone else.

They just did a global update on every platform. So it's not just the 360, but every plantform that Netflix runs on.  They are rolling it out, so it may take weeks before others see it.

This one navagates like the old Roku one, but has large screens that show you scene from the movie/show and it reveals spoilers.  You only have a small area now to scroll to find other things to watch.

I've heard it launches shows faster, but the sliding images and spoilers really annoy me.  From what I have seen online, I'm not the only one, with many other complaining too. 

I can deal with the other stuff, but there is no excuses for spoilers. 


i was going to argue with you and say the ps3 one at least is awesome but you're saying it litterally just released?    i guess i have something to look forward to..

I just checked. You're gonna be pissed. I looked at a few shows and movies that I've already seen and the switching screens definitely showed some scenes that were meant to be a surprise. At a lot faster at least.

My next gen Wii U netflix app is just great, and youtube will become equally great with the november update. Wii U gamepad works even great with the apps. Oh, and I just have to pay once to get into Netflix, not twice!!

Just you wait Mr. Cbarroso09, just you wait!

It's a global update on many devices - off Netflix not just one kind of app.  You'll get the spoilers soon! 

Netflix - ruining our great reputation since 2011!



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned. 

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

 

Tell me a funny joke!

Yes, I it runs faster, but the splash screens on mine gave out spoilers.  Plus, I just hate the moving immages - like bad camera work on a movie or TV show.  But mostly it's the splash and spoilers.  Nearly everyone's annimated picture here get's add blocked so I never see it.  If it's in your footer and moving, I most likely never see it.

Plus, I'm not fond of the tiny scrolling part. 

On mine, some of the slides were definatly spoilers that would damage the enjoyment of the media if I hadn't already seen it.

Wanted to report that Kinect voice commands are almost lag less now for me with this update... Which now makes Kinect the fastest most convenient way to use Netflix... Well it was already before if your pad wasn't wired in.. But now it's unquestionable... Just the time you take to reach the pad is longer, if you need to turn it on... Well I'd be at the first commercial break if they had some on Netflix before you press the first button

I'm with you, Zappy. I miss the old Netflix application a lot. Watching with friends in that little "theater" was pretty neat. Haven't tried this most recent update, but I can't imagine it's worse than what we've been living with for the past few years.
