Been something I've been after for a while and it's now over here. It's an on-demand service with instant access to movies and TV shows, streaming through your tv, laptop, tablet, smart phone, games consoles etc. It's only £6 a month and the selection so far isn't amazing but will be growing every day. Anyone getting it?

Aye I mentioned it on a thread the other day. I've got it. Much better than lovefilm's streaming offering, I think the range of stuff is pretty good for a start.

The functionality needs sorting though. Why can't you queue things, or add things to a watch list? As far as i'm aware, the US software allows this, so why not give us basic functions like that?

I'll give it a few months for the catalogue to build up and kinks like the ones Gem mentioned to get ironed out but I do reckon I'd get it going through the 360

Aye there's a Louis CK on there, which is decent.  I've been watching Californication too - that's what it's good for, things that you've never bothered to watch in the past, but which are now just there and you don't have to think about it.  All the Crackers are on there too, which are mint.  We've never watched Spooks either, and there's 7 series of that on there.

Actually, let's get some Netflix recommendations going in this thread:

The Louis C.K. stand up that I mentioned is good, as is Jim Jefferies Alcoholocaust (worth it just for the story at the end about him taking his mate's disabled brother to a brothel).

There's some good documentaries on there as well.  Waiting for Superman and Gasland are both good.  I'm gonna finally watch the King of Kong or whatever it's called (the Donkey Kong documentary).

If it recommends The Station Agent to you (as it did me), don't bother with it.

Watched almost all the Inbetweeners on Netflix in the last couple of days.  Looks to have the best range of all the xbox video apps.

I'd look into getting this on the 360 but my broadband is beyond poo so I'm not sure it would be worth it.

The Bridge is on there, which is a really good documentary about people killing themselves by jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge.

:lol: Well that was mint. Obviously the film never gets made if these people weren't such freaks, but watching a dad of two with tears streaming down his face in a video arcade, and his wife sat crying in the car, you couldn't help but want to hit these people and tell them that none of this matters a fucking bit.

Aye they were a shady bunch of baldness deniers.  One lad was like "I'm 30 years old.  I've retired.  And now I just spend my life at the Funstop playing classic video games."  In reality he spent his time kissing Billy Mitchell's hoop down the phoneline and trying to sabotage anyone that looks like they might beat his Donkey Kong score. :lol:
