But, I agree the selection leaves a lot to be desired. I'm lucky in that I love British comedy and they have a lot of it on Netflix instant. It does make you wonder why the selection isn't better. My guess is it's a licensing issue of some kind as they have a great selection of some categories and a dismal selection in others. My hope is that in about a year the selection will be a lot better as more studios etc. allow their content to be seen this way.

Also, National Treasure is a much more fun ride than it's clumsy sequel (if you can stand 2 more hours of Nick Cage and What's-Her-Name. At least the first one has Sean Bean) Despite it’s flaws i think NetfliXBOX360 is a much more economically and user-friendly choice than paying top dollar for premium channels like HBO and Showtime.

Here's a few gems: Superbad 30 Rock: Seasons 1 & 2 The Office: All Seasons Dexter: Season 1 Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels Meet The Robinsons High Fidelity Spiderman 3 Ratatouille ...They generally have newer TV series and older movies - but they update the selection fairly often. Give it a chance. Here's some things I'm not thrilled with though: Sony just pulled all their Instant View movies from the 360's available lineup. And since we already pay for Netflix, why is it required to have a Gold Xbox Membership to view the movies? I like the ability to create my own avatar and stream netflix and community games are going to be great, but other than that all the NXE really brings us is a shitload of more advertisements on our screens.
