[themiz69]

i heard from a friend that when netflix comes to xbox live, we will be able to rent movies and invite others to watch with us. true of false??? like i said i just heard this from a friend so if its not correct then dont rag on me.

Correct. Both you and your invitees will need to have a XBL-Gold and Netflix memberships though.

From what I've heard the movies that are available for streaming are not all that great at the moment

Yeah but at least there are new releases. I personally don't have Netflix yet (still debating), but from what people have told me I won't be impressed with any of the streaming content

[themiz69]

ooooohhh. the titles available to watch on the comp like once or twice (depending on the plan) a week? if so then i went thru the whole list when i had netflix months ago and i honestly only a few titles id watch.

I will be trying out a Netflix account once this comes to XBL. I don't have cable, so this may be a good alternative for some TV shows.

I'm not sure if the content list is available, but I know there are approximately 10,000 "titles" to choose from.

I'm thinking the same thing. I want to get my own apartment and cable is a luxury I'm not going to pay for since I watch 3 shows faithfully and that's all I watch (Smallville, Supernatural, and Heroes incase you were wondering)

I have a question about the Heroes episodes, do they go up on Netflix as they air?

Example: Season 3 premier airs tonight (not really) would it be up on Netflix tomorrow or would I have to wait until the whole season is done before I saw them on there?

Thanks!

I'm pretty sure they only stream movies/shows that come from their DVD collection, so you would have to wait for S3 to arrive on DVD before you can stream it from NetFlix...

idk... Heroes: Season 2 is available for Instant Play but the DVDs aren't released until Aug 26. Only way to really know is to find a show that Netflix offers Instant Play for that is currently in season and see if they do or not.
