Lately it seems like Netflix can't take a step without tripping over its own feet. The company's latest debacle is the launch of a new Xbox 360 client which has customers complaining about bugs and missing features.
The new client was rolled out yesterday, following Microsoft's update to the console. It takes advanage of new voice and gesture control capabilities, as well as adding access ... [ read the full article ]

I agree that the Netflix for Xbox really sucks. Although I do somewhat like the interface a little but it is really hard to use.
I also agree with the quote about how annoying it is when you are trying to click on Movie or TV show it automatically starts playing in the background. I rather have a static image without it already playing the movie or the first TV episode while I'm trying to navigate to other episodes.
I think this new version shouldn't have been released either and they need to stop rushing and putting out sh*t quality interfaces
Netflix appears to be suffering from common growing pains. When it was pre-adolescent, customer satisfaction was the most important consideration, and we loved our adorable Netflix. Now, it has entered its "teenage" period where it knows what is best for everyone. It has become self-centered and rebellious, and it expects unconditional love. Just wait until puberty starts!
Netflix has shot its wad as far as I'm concerned. I used to be able to watch videos on my Android tablets and they have messed up their authentication so only "approved" tablets will work.. well F them.
This is absolutely atrocious. Netflix was the best thing ever on XBOX, and they absolutely broke it. I blame the movies companies. They purposely threatened/told NETFLIX to do this, to start limited they're streaming base. They rather people move to their individual movie streaming sites like HULU and HBO GO, so that eventually when push comes to shove, they start charging everyone and go back more money then they need to regurgitating the same old crap. And then we go back to paying extraordinary amounts for t.v. again, when originally all of these cables companies were suppose to provide free t.v., or paid t.v. with no advertising, as in the original creation of cable t.v. Screw you movie companies, and screw you netflix.
Haven't been a Netflix member since they assumed people no longer were interested renting optical disks via mail. Big mistake.. Doing so has Redbox and the like to pickup the slack while making millions of dollars.
I streamed a few items and saw it sucked.
Guess streaming is okay if you could care less about audio and video quality.

I will select my video, step outside to smoke a cigarette [6 minutes] and when I get back inside, the stupid white ring is STILL SPINNING saying 100% but no playback. I use Xfinity/Comcast for internet, my DL speed is 35.71mbps and UL is 5.1!!! I experience NO LAG while gaming, even when my fiance is streaming YouTube videos and my brother is using facebook all at the same time. I turn off EVERY device except for my XBOX in hopes that the delay will go away, but NO, it still says 100% inside of the stupid spinning white ring... I am about to just cancel this BS Netflix since they can't even seem to get their sh!t together...
Same issues here. Netflix works fine on all computers in house, on the Wii, and on the DS even but god forbid you try it on the xbox (which is our main viewing source.)
