In preparation for the Fall release of the Netflix streaming enabled New Xbox Experience, Netflix just announced that they're adding additional content to their streaming library including a boatload of content from Starz.Come this Fall, Netflix will add an additional 2,500 pieces of content for streaming (that's 30,000 pieces of content in total), including movies from Starz Play like Spider-Man 3, Ratatouille, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, Superbad, and No Country for Old Men. You'll need an unlimited subscription plan to have access to all the Netflix goodies when the NXE releases and, just to whet your appetite, 1,000 hunks of new content are available TODAY with the other 1,500 being added by the time the NXE launches. Happy days!

This is awesome. Netflix is probably what I'm most excited for with the update, and now itll be even better.

I know that the streaming abilities of the NXE were making me a NetFlix subscriber now it's getting even sweeter!

I have my PC hooked up to a 26" HDTV. When I found out Netflix allows unlimited streaming with their $9/month plan, and already has all of the seasons of The Office and Hereos up, I got onboard.
The quality of the streams depends on the speed of your connection, I usually get near-DVD quality, though there is some pixelation at peak times.

I watched Super High Me via Netflix and PC to TV connections, as well, and have to agree.
Wait, what were we talking about, again?

oh man, what a bunch of sheeple you editors are. I wonder what would happen if I said "I believe it's 'face rape' your appetite", way to grow a back-bone editors. I'm sorry, I believe it's "way to grow a pair editors".

He corrected a spelling error that you pointed out.
Why are you being a dick about it?

+1 moorio.. how do you know he wasn't just being sarcastic after a) realizing it was a typo or b) doing extensive research to find out it was, in fact, an error. Did you expect a lengthy debate on the topic? Or how about no response at all? Dustin could have easily just fixed the error - or, shock, not fixed it at all - and not said a damn thing. Instead, he took the time to reply to your condescending comment, and in return you bashed him for *correcting a mistake*. What a sheeple-fcuker you are, sir. How's that, Mr. Rocko? And yes, that was an intentional typo.

For the record, I'm not a "sheeple editor", but I do enjoy sheep. Not goats so much. Oh, and try to smile more.

dear god, I was just getting bored of everyone going "hey, you forgot to spell a word a certain way, but it's okay! Here, have a cookie, the chocolate chips are oh-so gooey." I felt like being a dick for once, is that too much to ask for? There are times in everyone's lives where they too feel like being on the dick end of the string. Albeit, I was veiled behind the anonymity granted to us by the internet, but it's a feature I never try to exploit. And seriously, you could have been a dick about it too and respond with "well you know what? I like wet better than whet." I would've grown some major respect points for you for standing up and being the big man of the house, but hey, different strokes for different folks. There, everyone happy that my original intention is publicly-known, and you can go to bed knowing there really isn't a douche bag like response #8 by Rocko?

To use Netflix on XBOX LIVE, you need a Netflix account that allows streaming (min $9/month I believe) and an XBOX LIVE account.

I believe HDDVD is toshiba's failed venture; not microsofts.
