Netflix receives hardly noticeable update on Xbox 360

4.6
The Netflix app for Xbox 360 received an update today that improves some functionality, while completely ignoring most things we would notice. Adjustments include the ability to skip forward and back during play through movies and TV episodes, and a zoom function for those with 4:3 screens to convert letterbox to full screen.

Other tweaks include social media integration for Facebook outside of the States. There's also a single sign-on with cloud profiles, allowing members to access Netflix on another Xbox 360 (like, at a friend's house) with sign-in credentials.

Still not fixed: TV episode selection instead of auto-starting shows and lack of Xbox keyboard interface instead of that sloppy search string of letters. Not that we're bitter or anything.

Map Sad how they still haven't brought back watching with friends.
I called them and asked them why they got rid of it and they said there were too many problems with it. BS they're just too lazy to bring it back.

Several people use Netflix. I don't understand how it's pointless, it's entertainment?

and like the person above me said, please explain how it is pointless? just because you have never been able to get netflix doesnt mean nobody uses it

Simple ignorance. Said player doesn't use it, so with the selfish mind he believes it's useless and nobody else uses it either. :)
