Curious as to just how the Netflix functionality is going to work on the Xbox 360 when it's added this fall? Major Nelson just posted a video of him going through it, showing off just how it's going to work. Essentially, it looks exactly like the interface on the Roku Netflix box.

You can't search through the entire Netflix database, instead needing to add movies you want to watch to your instant queue. It's a bit annoying, but as you can add as many movies you want to the queue, not that big a deal. If you own an Xbox 360 and bought a Roku box, however, get that thing to eBay ASAP, as you won't be using it anymore come this fall.


I've been using a Roku for some time now, and my review in brief is: there are a lot of other options out there. I mean, it's pretty cool if you're alright with the idea of a home theater being a TV and a DVD player. It'll fit right in. But if you don't really think that there should be any difference between you TV and a gaming workstation, well, save the hundred bucks and use it to buy movies you won't get on Netflix this decade.

the above image the result of the search terms "a third wheel" which roku is about to be, yeah, pretty much. and it's dark knight themed! go see it already! it's almost less full of bat-love than that photo
