Kinect Now Offers Hands-free Netflix Support
Microsoft has released an approximately 42 MB update that adds Kinect support to Netflix on the Xbox 360. You'll still have to use your controller to gain complete access to your queue (voice commands only launch a series of recommended selections), but you have complete Kinect control once you're in a streaming video. After launching a movie, you can use voice commands to control playback, or use your hands to skip to specific areas on a timeline.
“By integrating Kinect into the Netflix experience on Xbox LIVE, we’re continuing to transform the way people enjoy their favorite entertainment in the living room,” said Pete Thompson, general manager of Xbox Live. “Since its launch, Netflix has always been one of the most popular services on Xbox LIVE, so we are excited to deliver a brand new way to control this experience in a way that can’t be found anywhere else.”

It's worthless if you ask me.... a lousy attempt. You get 11 suggested movies and that's it! It even says "for more choices and search, use your controller" in the bottom left. Are you serious? Isn't that how it always worked??? Guess you got to start somewhere....
