asianman6924 Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 When Microsoft unveiled the plan for the new Xbox Live experience back at E3 2008, we were thrilled to hear that Netflix instant streaming was among the features announced.That news just got a little sweeter now that Engadget HD is reporting that Xbox 360 owners will also be able to stream selected Netflix titles in HD.While a list of HD-ready movies is not immediately available, some 300 titles will be ready for HD streaming when the service launches--along with the new Xbox Live experience--November 19.Judging from the screen grab, it looks like the Netflix 360 player will gauge your Internet connection and decide whether or not your hookup can handle glorious high-definition content.This is certainly big news for Xbox 360 owners, as no other device has the ability to stream Netflix in HD. Can you hear that? It's the sound of a Roku player crying. ORIGINAL ARTICLE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voodoohippie Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 It may be tempting to buy an Xbox 360 just to stream movies in HD soon. Where I live the cable company doesn't even transmit anything in HD yet and the transition to Digital is comming for the local channels. You'd think they'd at least broadcast the digital local channels in digital on the cable system? Nope there all in analog and that sucks. If I didn't subscribe to Graboid I'd consider the XboX just for that alone even though I'm not an avid game player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
