anybody using netflix on the 360? any good?

Yah, now I finally have something other than DVDs to use my XBOX for.
It's been pretty awesome since we first set it up, but I gotta say -- the on demand selection blows. It's not terrible, but you'd be surprised at what you CANT watch instantly.
That said, at least we still get those things we can't watch instantly via regular mail.

yes, it is very good. The selection is limited - you can check the netflix site to get an idea - but it is convenient. Sort of a cheaper version of onDemand, without as many new movies.

One benefit of Netflix/XBOX combo was that I was able to catch up on the first four seasons of The Office for free.
And if you already have an XBOX360 and a Netflix account, just try it out. It's not like it costs you anything extra.

How long does it take to download a movie?

i don't even play games anymore it seems

not long at all. it streams the movie, so it just takes 30 seconds to get started.
It measures your bandwidth and adjusts the quality based on that. If you have a good connection, it is HD quality

it streams it......and yeah it can do HD. it's tight. get it. plus you get access to other netflix movies too via postal mail. way better than on demand or blockbuster.
