New Xbox Experience!

November 19, 2008 in Technology with Comments Off

My Xbox Live update has downloaded. I’ve launched the New Xbox Experience. Loving it so far. The new update includes integration with my Netflix account so that I can take advantage of unlimited streaming of Netflix movies on the Xbox. Here’s how it worked:

  • Xbox provides an activation code for Netflix.
  • I hopped on my computer and entered the activation code on the Netflix website.
  • Immediately I had access to my “Watch Instantly” queue from Netflix on the Xbox.
  • The Netflix streaming includes HD format when available. (It looks incredible!)
  • Here’s a video from Xbox showing how this portion of the NXE works.

So, I just have to admit this, technology sometimes amazes me. This is one of those instances. It’s fun to see television and the Web and media colliding like this. Truly amazing.

In case you’re interested, here are some more details about the New Xbox Experience.

    Tony…I didn’t realize you were an xbox guy. I’m looking forward to getting trying out the new live experience later on tonight. You’ll have to hit me up if you’re ever playing some Halo 3 or want to throw down on some Madden 08. My username is the first part of my email.
