anyone uses netflix on Xbox 360? is it worth it?
I don't see my self mailing out DVD or Waiting for them.
its $9 a month so it might be worth it, but I heard a rumor that movies that Columbia pictures/Sony produce are not available on the Xbox. Is it true?
What are their selection to new movies? -- 02 T/A AUTO Metalic Silver. 07 Yaris M5.

if it works like the box they sell to get instant movies, there are no new releases available. Only older ones -- 1993 Z28, Eibach Pro kit, KYB adjustable shocks & struts, custom boxed rear control arms and panhard rod, strut brace. 18" C5 rims wrapped in Toyo T1-R's

Of course, all this talk of functionality means nothing if there's nothing to watch. Amazon Unbox and iTunes offer awesome content, including new movies and TV shows fresh from the boob tube, at obscenely high prices. (It costs $12.99 to buy a download of The Prestige on iTunes.) Thanks to its all-you-can-eat pricing scheme, Watch Now is a giant step forward. I can honestly say, however, that in the 12 or so hours I've spent watching Netflix's streaming offerings, I've seen nothing I would pay to see. At the risk of sounding needlessly harsh, I found the offerings impressively bad, as though some schlock curator from an Ivy League cinema studies department was called upon to select the dreckiest soft-porn screwball comedies ever made. Find Caddyshack too highbrow? Try Golfballs! You won't find any of Kieslowski's Trois Couleurs movies. You will find Andy Sidaris' Triple B trilogy, which features more "bullets, bombs, and babes" than you can shake a stick at. If you search hard enough, you'll find a handful of newish highbrow releases like Sherrybaby and Conversations With Other Women. But good luck finding enough to keep you entertained.

I have xbox + netflix and use it lots
there isnt a whole lot of new movies it seems. every time i want to watch something i have to wait for it in the mail. I do, however, enjoy watching TV shows on it. I watched all 3 seasons of Heros recently. This alone was worth it. Not only could I stream them but they came in through HD which looked even exceptionally well for HD.
My advice is if you have a 360 and are thinking about getting netflix for it, do it... at least for a couple months. 3 months, $21 later, and lots of hours of even half entertaining entertainment is worth it.
the downfall: not a lot of content and old content
the best part: it works really well, no hitches at all... it's a great system --

I just started using that dl option for the 360, not bad at all. IMO its worth it because of how cheap it is.
I just watch Iron Eagle for the first time on it two nights. That movie is horrible  -- 94 Red Z28 hardtop M6, boltons-now only a memory

netflix on xbox isnt worth it in my opinion... like 90% old movies... then half of those aren't anything worth watching. --

I really like the Netflix on Xbox. But to be fair, I was already a Netflix subscriber, so its another service I get that doesn't cost me a dime extra. It is mostly older/more obscure stuff and TV shows. There is some decent stuff on there. If I want something newer I'll just let them send it to me.
Just as an example of some things on my instant Queue:
A Clockwork Orange
Pan's Labyrinth
Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels
No Country for Old Men
Super High Me
An Evening with Kevin Smith 2
Ocean's Eleven
Jericho: Seasons 1 and 2
