Can someone please explain Netflix?

WantToBeSE

I keep hearing people talk about how great Netflix is, but I have no idea how to get it!
Can I get it on the Xbox 360? How do I pay for it, and is it a subscription?
Is it worth the money, and how much is it?

Just get the Free Trial, and don't forget to cancel.

Not sure if you can get it on the 360, sorry.

But, it is fab! I pay £5.99 per month and have access to loads of box sets of amazing tv shows. I don't use it to watch movies too often, but for tv box sets it's amazing!

It's not a contracted subscription, so you can cancel anytime.

Yes you can get it on the Xbox 360.

Price is actually going up for the normal subscription to £6.99 for new subscribers .

I've had it for a few years and would definitely say it's worth the money.

Flix (Movies) on the Net (internet). Also TV series. You subscribe £5.99 or £6.99 per month, watch whatever you want on lots of different devices, including XBox 360. You need a decent broadband connection, I'd want at least 8Mb.

Netflix to TV via a smartphone or tablet and chromecast .

Thought I'd ask here rather than start a new thread.

I've been compiling a list of some blu ray box sets I might get for Christmas and thought I'd check and see what was on Netflix. Nearly everything is. The only one I can't see is season 1 of The Fall. I missed it first time round.

I was going to get Breaking Bad on blu-ray but the cost of it alone would fund Netflix for near a year.

Is everything in HD?

Thanks so much everyone


So all I need is the TV, the Xbox, gold live, a HDMI cable and a decent internet connection?


Do I need to set up my own profile on the Xbox, or can I use my childrens ones?


Went over to a friends house today and had a look at it (hers is on ps3) and was really pleased with the selection. Going to try it after Christmas.

You no longer need Xbox Live Gold for Netflix on the Xbox... finally! :-)

Really? In that case I'll subscribe for the 1 month free trial later this evening

Oh, it seems that you do require the gold live, as it wont let me download the Netflix app else.


EDIT- I was wrong! I just needed a live account, not gold.
