E3 2008: Xbox 360 and Netflix Team Up

Alan Pettit

Microsoft and Netflix today announced a partnership that will bring over 10,000 movies and TV shows to existing or future Netflix and Xbox Live Gold users at no additional cost. Estimated to be active in "late fall" this appears too good to be true, but it is! I'm a Blockbuster Online member and I love the in-store trade-in service, but this might bring me over to the other side.

  • FUCK YES! Now ii get free movies @_@
  • Canada anyone?
  • Free? i cant see it.
  • it better be in canada, otherwise its bullshit
  • @Badlandz: That's because it's not out yet. :P They announced it today, they haven't put it up yet.
  • Since ive never heard of it I guess its an American thing...
  • I meen i cant see it being free.
  • So it's not actually free, you have to be a member of Netflix to get the movies/TV episodes, but you can stream them down Xbox Live at no additional cost.
  • Good times.
  • Ok, so since Im a member of both, I'm golden (no pun intended) right?
  • I might have to join netflix...
  • Sweet, good thing I've been a member of Netflix for years!
  • netflix's kicks ass i hope we get support for it in canada.
  • oh yah, free movies!!!
  • I'll be joining netflix when the time gets closer!
  • Brilliant move on Netflix's part. They just quite literally made a whole new market and distribution method materialize out of thin air, at relatively little cost. Just checked out their website for subscription plan prices, and they seem ready. Their FAQ's already been updated to include 360 support.
  • Sweet! Ive had Netflix for a while now, this will be great!
  • seeing that I got live and netflix- this is flippin awesome!
  • Nice! I've been wanting to get it again for sometime, now I have more reason to do it.
  • 10,000 free movies. I don't know about this one
  • So you actually need to pay and be member of both Netflix and xbox live gold?..If that's the case it wasn't such a good deal.
  • NO. You have to be a MEMBER of Netflix and HAVE a GOLD Xbox Live Account, the moves will have NO ADDITIONAL COST! So, if you have Netflix AND a gold account of Xbox Live, you get free movies.
  • wot if u live in the UK then wot
  • Unbelivable I love it, if your a netflix member but you're friends aren't can you still watch it together?
  • its not free. you have to have a XBL Gold membership and a Netflix membership which is anywhere between $170- $400/year combined for both in order to atch the movies through your Xbox 360.
