Title: New XBOX Experience
Post by: X on November 19, 2008, 10:42:02 AM
Okay, just ( 4 hours ago) updated my xbox 360 with the new update and I am more than impressed.

- Netflix streaming video including HD and season passes like Heroes ( watched this week's episode again) and all you need is the 8.99 version of netflix

- installing your games to your HD to save you wear on your drive

- Avatars ... they just rock!

The avatars are a little cutesy for me. I haven't had time to fiddle with anything else. I don't think the netflix streaming is available in Canada.

We just tried a couple of movies and they only look at most like 480.  What resolution did you get for "Heroes?"

When it's a HD stream if will have the little HD as it begins the initial Buffer.

Try heroes season three.

Also it might be a matter of streaming dl speed. I DL at 20mbs so that might be why it runs in HD.

I would check the resolution, but my wife is playing Halo right now
