Netflix on XBOX 360!!

That's right, folks.... Netflix is now on Xbox 360 and my son immediately put his request in to have a membership. Soon after he asked, my youngest who has his own Xbox 360 and stays next door with my mom put in his request. It was pretty reasonable for upto four different receivers; however, the more receivers the more the membership. For example, one receiver $8.99, two receivers $13.99 and so on....

Once all steps are completed you can put upto 500 movies and TV shows in queue. We are just getting to know how this new wave of technology plays out and I'll keep you posted (pardon the pun..). We did watch our first movie "Somebody Help Me." I wasn't too happy with the gore and suspense, yuck! It was pretty ugly, folks. I prefer comedy, thank you.

In the meantime, check it out for yourself at http://www.netflix.com/. I'll give it one thumb up and keep you posted and two thumbs up possibilities.
