While I'm avoiding homework...
I have an xbox 360 with Xbox Live. I have Netflix. So naturally, when offered the chance to merge the two together (and watch netflix over my xbox on demand-like), I wanted to see what would come of it.
I can say I'm impressed. Microsoft managed not to fuck it up. The video quality is great, though there isn't any support for surround sound (that's on Netflix - there isn't for any of their streaming video). No lags, the only glitches I had came when I tried to fast forward through the opening credits of my TV show and I wasn't familiar with the setup and accidentally stopped the playback. No problem, it started again easily, right where I left off.
The only real issue I have is the lack of titles available on their Watch Instantly lineup. It's pretty scarce for the stuff I like. But, I suppose that's what I still get the DVDs in the mail for.
