Calling all of you video game loving, movie watching cats out there: did you know that if you have a Netflix video rental account online you can actually stream more than 12,000 different titles to your Xbox 360? It is really easy to setup, provided you have an active Xbox Live account of course. But, imagine watching any movie you like for free (free add-on to existing Netflix customers), and whenever you like? The world of Xbox 360 just got amazing for movie lovers around the globe!

The Xbox 360 Just Got a lot More Useful
Now that you can watch DVD movies on your Xbox 360 – which we all already knew about – and you can watch on-demand movies for free from Netflix, with more than 12,000 titles to choose from, the offerings of the Xbox 360 just got that much better. And sadly, once again you Playstation 3 gamers get screwed, as this service is only available for the Xbox 360 through Xbox Live people. So while PS3 gamers may have the Blue-Ray, they don’t have Netflix, and the amenities pale in comparison. Hooray for Xbox 360!

Why Ever Rent Movies Again?
One company that is most certainly whimpering at this announcement has got to be Blockbuster Video. What used to be the biggest video rental store in the world is now getting their butts handed back to them by behemoths like Netflix, which does not have any retail stores. The sad reality is that the internet is killing retail with better prices, more features and more selection…as can be plainly seen with this newer Xbox Live service.
