NetFlix Anyone

[LeftNutOfGowd]

So I join up on Netflix about two weeks ago when I got my 360. And I was just wondering if anyone else is a member and how long did it take for your first order to arrive. I been waiting for over a week to get my first set a movie and I just wanted to see if it really takes this long to get your first set of movie or was is there somethign wrong.

[stiizy]

[DOOK]

what's with the streaming over xbox Live deal? I'm thinking of ditching the Wii and going back to 360 for this very reason...

The Xbox 360 is the only game console that lets members instantly watch movies & TV episodes streamed from Netflix on the TV. This is available to Netflix members who are also Xbox LIVE Gold members for no additional Netflix fee. In addition, the Xbox 360 offers more than 400 video games, a unified online gaming network, and a variety of entertainment features.


Plays video games and standard DVDs
Connects to the Internet via an Ethernet cable, or optional WiFi adapter (additional purchase required)

Already have an Xbox?

To watch instantly on your Xbox, you need the following:


A high speed Internet connection
An Xbox Gold LIVE membership
An Netflix unlimited plan

If you have these, go to your Xbox menu, download and install the Netflix application from within the Video Marketplace, then go www.netflix.com/activate (http://www.netflix.com/Activate) to activate your device. It's that simple.

The 3 disc at a time and unlimited online for 16.99 i think.

[stiizy]

^^ Yeah that's what i had for like 8 months and then they asked me to upgrade to 4 for free so i was like okay

[ronmcdon]

Didn't have such a good experience with Netflix. I joined their membership earlier this year, and proceeded to order 3 dvds. they were more obsure older movies, but whatever, Netlflix says those titles were in stock. After two weeks of constant follow-up every day, still not a single title arrived. I canceled my membership after that. Maybe the regional office that serves beverly hills is a bit incompetent, idk.

For me, it's just 100x easier to drive down to blockbuster down the street, and hand in the movies on time. that, or just use you know what. it's amazing how many titles are available, but the con is that film resolution there isn't as satisfactory as a dvd.

as for games, I have WOW and that's enough. haven't even used the ps3 and xbox for almost a year.

[LeftNutOfGowd]

^^Yeah thats the same issues im having so im gonna give it tell Friday if i dont receive my movie then im just gonna cancel it

Off Topic: but how do you like the new linch king expansion my friend is a WoW head and for his bday I got him the new expantion and a 3 month mebership card. I still havnt headed from him in about 2 weeks lol. He tried to get me into it but everytime I go over and see him playing it I find it so F*N boring

With the Netflix delay (as the poster above me mentioned), it probably is just the craziness of the holiday season. hope it things work out for you though. I know I hate waiting for my toys to arrive.

About the WoW expansion, personally I'm not all that impressed. I get the impression so far that it's just more of the same. There's not enough new material to justify the expense, and there seems to be a lot of bugs not worked out yet. however, it's not a disappointment either. You're still getting a polished (even if questionably innovative) Blizzard product.

But on the other hand, I've been playing a lot just to sample the new material, so it's not all that bad either. I guess 'satisfactory' would be how I'd describe the overall WoW experience.

The appeal of WoW isn't like your fps at all. IMO, there are more RPG-game type elements and emphasis on strategy and character-build up. There is also a good deal of social interaction between players and guilds. It's rich and immersing, but it's a totally different experience from most online action games. It's certainly not as fast paced as your typical fps game.

Watching someone play WOW is terribly boring usually I agree, but it's also not a fair means of giving the game a chance either. If you'd like to sample the game first hand, use your friend's account. Hopefully he has character(s) built up with ok gear. Play some of the "Battle-Grounds", the Arena (2v2 is a good place to start), and try to play one of the 5-man dungeons. That should give you a good sample of the game.

Actually already knowing friends makes the whole WoW experience much much better. I used to be in a guild, and I enjoyed it a lot more than going solo than right now. I have real life friends that also coincidently play WoW, but they are on a totally different server.

WHAT THE CRAP?!?!? i thoght that when you joined the net flix on x box you dont recive them by mail, i was under the impression that when you ordered a movie it would play through your xbox...... that kinda sux it would be way better if when you ordered a movie you could play it on ur xbox, not wait for the stupid mail man

[Jimmy Up]

I watched eddie muphy raw on my xbox the other night, its a pretty sick set-up they got going on...

[Sleepy240]

netflix on xbox is great! its more of a convenience thing though, I would prefer a blu ray disc any day through the mail =P
