Posted on: August 28th, 2008 XBOX 360 and Netflix
One of the most exciting announcements out of this year’s E3 was the deal to bring near-instant streaming movies from Netflix to subscribers with an Xbox 360. The arrival of the long-rumored deal later this fall will add another plank to the Microsoft console’s media platform. The company has released a short preview of how exactly the service will work. Netflix subscribers will be able to access movies from their web accounts and — from this tech demo, at least — it seems to work almost as quickly as the PC client currently available. Check it out:
It has been rumored that XBOX will form a partnership with Netflix to stream you queued movies right into your XBOX machine and into your living rooms. Well, these are not rumors anymore, Netflix subscribers will have access to all of the movies in their web account, and with just a few button clicks, they’ll be able to watch the movies quickly and easily. It also seems to stream relatively fast… it looks like i’ll be renewing that Netflix account.
