Blah. No netflix, last fm or games on demand. Is there anything interesting on that preview?

 

What the hell?

Not only was Netflix there already, but this update makes Netflix 10x better:

-Parties

-Browsing from the 360

-improved streaming

-ability to see what movies your friends are watching in your Friends List

 

Maybe you have netflix there but in EU there is no such thing. Not even with the preview.


That's not Microsoft's fault and there's absolutely nothing they can do to make it happen.  There are barriers in place that makes having Netflix available around the World (or even pretty much in every country outside of the U.S.) impossible.

Yeah, but netflix is supposed to come here with the update. I was pretty disappointed when it was not included in preview.



I'm in w00t



Netflx was never supposed to go worldwide. Not sure where you heard that. Netflix is 10 times better now. Games marketplace might be cool when more games are on there. Another good revenue stream for Live.



I got my invite like 3 days ago or something. Updated instantly and am loving the new features. Mostly Netflix improvements. I can't wait till the Games on Demand are up and running for the previewers like myself. The entire NXE seems to run a bit smoother as well, at least for me.

ya the speed is real improvement..

no long pause when you press the huge X button and view your friends



Too bad it ended for me.

ended??



 

Love it already. The Netflix browsing is sweet, except I signed up for my console in my room instead of the one in my living room, so now the wife is always in my room watching shows because it's easier to browse! Okay problem to have in my book. The speed increase is nice and the games on demand is going to suck up my money and HDD space with the quickness. Live just keeps gettin' better!



I still can't believe they accepted me even though I don't even have netflix lol
