Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    Does having a low quality picture on my netflix xbox 360 account have to do with connection?
    My picture quality is horrible on my tv with my netflix instant queue…does it have to do with connection or just crappy netflix. Thanks
    it is a wireless router and i have a cable connection to my xbox do i need wireless

    • ANSWER:
      If you look this up on Google, a lot of people are having this issue, including myself. Netflix is having some trouble with this, because this is a new service, and they don’t know how to fix the problem. Many subscribers are having trouble with their Xbox 360 Netflix video quality. Having a faster connection, and getting an Xbox Live compatible router or gateway would help, I’m sure, but don’t go wasting a ton of money. Netflix is supposedly doing their best to figure the problem out, fix it, and get us Xbox 360 users some better video quality. It’s not all cause of your ISP, or throttling, or your internet speed.

  2. QUESTION:
    How To Improve Quality on Netflix Xbox 360 Movies?
    Okay, so I have used the Netflix service and before it was really good quality and my videos would be clear. But now they are HORRIBLE. And i Have a 100.0 Mbps internet connection speed and it should look good. SO whats wrong? How do I improve the quality of the movies?

    • ANSWER:
      Either your ISP is throttling your connection (or throttling Netflix), your router is dying, or (if you’re using wireless) you’re getting bad reception. I have the same issues; I’m just satisfied if the movie plays smoothly.

  3. QUESTION:
    What are your thoughts of Netflix on Xbox 360 Gold account?
    I’m thinking about getting an xbox 360 and the ability to get movies from Netflix is a big part in that desicion. Is the quality good? User friendly? Any problems at all with it that make it an un-pleasurable experience?

    • ANSWER:
      This is a horrible service. I was very excited about this feature since I was already a member of Netflix. Turned out to be almost useless. The quality of the movies and shows are in 480p, which is very bad news if you have an hdtv. The picture is almost unwatchable.

      The availability of movies you can watch instantly is a joke, but it gets better as the weeks go buy. Still, don’t expect to stream your favorite movie.

      Xbox live is coming out with a new video service later this year which looks to be worthwhile. Supposed to have a wide selection of rentals in 1080p! Don’t let the Netflix service discourage you though. Xbox live is an amazing network.

  4. QUESTION:
    Is the Netflix catalogue the same on Xbox 360 as it is on the computer?
    I live in Canada and Netflix on Xbox 360 is a new feature. Is it the same movies, or is it reduced?

    • ANSWER:
      the 360 has less movies you can browse, but you can just go to netflix’s website brownse then add a movie to your instant queue and it will show up on your 360′s instant queue.

  5. QUESTION:
    How to watch movies on Netflix on Xbox 360?
    Someone once told me that one has to get a free Netflix card (from Target or Walmart) and activate it on Xbox 360 to get free Netflix. Is this true?

    • ANSWER:
      You go to Netflix app in the xbox 360 dashboard get the code from it then go to Netflix.com/xbox enter the code and start your free trial though you will have to sign up with a valid credit card to activate Netflix

  6. QUESTION:
    What output is Netflix on Xbox 360 slim?
    I have an xBox 360 slim. What is the output resolution from the Netflix app on the Xbox? 720p? 1080p?

    • ANSWER:
      The Xbox 360 can support up to full native 1080p with Netflix streaming video. Whether you get that will depend a lot on your broadband bandwidth.

      And, sorry “New York” but you’re wrong on this one! The 360 does support native 1080p even for games. The problem is, virtually every game is produced at 720p so the 360 does upscale those if your setting is at 1080p. There are only a few 1080p native games out there… Virtua Tennis and FIFA Street 3 are the two I can remember.

      This is one of the reasons the PS3 seems to have better graphics to some folks… they have about 25 games that are native 1080p, like Gran Turismo 5.

    It appears I need windows media center for xp which I don’t have.

    • ANSWER:
      You don’t actually use your computer to stream Netflix to your 360. You download the Netflix streaming client from Xbox Live, use the code they give you to verify your account at Netflix.com, and then you actually watch the movies in your view instantly queue on your 360 while it’s connected to a TV. Media Player isn’t needed and it doesn’t matter if you have XP or otherwise. You don’t need the actual computer for anything other than using your internet to verify the account and to add movies to your queue.

  9. QUESTION:
    can you watch netflix movies on the xbox 360 with the netflix free trial?

  33. QUESTION:
    Netflix on Xbox 360, how is the selection of new releases?
    I’m thinking of switching from Blockbuster to Netflix mostly because you can stream to my 360. Are there lots of new releases available? I’ve heard it takes forever to get new movies sent in the mail because you’re on the waiting list, is this true?

    • ANSWER:
      I am very happy with Netflix. I don’t always go for the new movies, though. They have tons of movies and I get the . a month package where I can pick one dvd at a time but then stream as many instant movies as I want. Not all movies are available online or through streaming though.
      I do sometimes wish that I could go to a physical Netflix store to pick out some movies that I can’t get from streaming and I didn’t feel like waiting for through the mail.
      So, with Blockbuster having that feature, if you use that a lot, you may miss that.
      But with all the movies I’ve put in my dvd selections to be mailed out, so far only one said that there would be a long wait. But like I said, I don’t pick too many new movies.

      I think it depends on how many DVD’s you get in the mail. If you get two dvds in the mail, then you can watch up to two netflix enable devices (such as the xbox, pc, ps3, and the wii).

You have to get an unlimited plan from Netflix, which starts at .99 a month for unlimited streaming videos and unlimited renting through mail (only one movie at a time though). You can stream as many movies as you want, and there isnt an extra fee. Any other questions just email me.

  45. QUESTION:
    Which console has the fastest loading time for a movie on Netflix: Xbox 360, PS3, or Wii?
    Also, does the Wii support HD? And will the Wii play DVDs?

    • ANSWER:
      The Nintendo Wii does not support High Definition output, only Standard.
      The Nintendo Wii also cannot play DVD video discs, although it does support it.
      Theoretically the Nintendo Wii is more than capable of playing DVD videos, and hackers have gotten it to play DVD videos as well as homebrew games like Portal: 2D and even Duck Hunt. Some homebrew games are even close to the quality of store bought games, and feature full Wii Remote technology.
      Now, back to your question.
      Because Netflix is an online video streaming service, both the PS3 version of Netflix as well as the Xbox 360 version would load at the same speed, as it is based entirely on internet connection speeds, and not the power or strength of the system.
      With that aside, I can now get to the recommendations of the two different services.
      The Xbox 360 requires for you to pay a monthly subscription fee to access the advanced features such as playing online on Xbox Live, and even Netflix.
      On average for each location across North America, the retail price is .99 for a six month pre-subscription to the Xbox Live services, or for a 12 month pre-subscription.
      None of these prices include the Netflix service, only the ability to access the service. (Or in other words to ‘unlock’ the service)
      The PlayStation 3 does not require any type of subscription to access its’ advanced features such as playing online or communicating with friends, but it still requires for you to buy a subscription with Netflix.
      The PS3 also has a built in Blu-ray player, which is currently the standard for displaying High Definition on a TV. The Xbox 360 does not have a Blu-ray player, and the built in disc drive is for DVDs only. Microsoft did however at one point sell an additional add-on which would allow for you to play HDDVDs, which are currently no longer being made. The add-on has been discontinued.

      I recommend for you to get the PS3, as it is a great multimedia device as well as an excellent gaming platform.

    Any info much appreciated thankyou.
    I forgot to add more details…i cant find it in XB marketplace, i scroll along to the end but netflix isnt there at all. I dont have a clue where to find it

    • ANSWER:
      If you click on the Netflix box under Video Marketplace, it will download. Once it does, start it up and it will show a code. Keep your 360 on and stay signed into Live. Go onto netflix.com on your computer and look in the account section. You’ll see a part where it shows your registered devices. Add a new device and put in the code. if you did it right the screen with the code on your 360 will go away and you’ll see Netflix with your instant queue.

      Not any movie. It’s only the ones available for instant streaming which are usually older movies and also a lot of independent and B movies. You don’t have to pay MS Points. You just need a Netflix account and a Live Gold account. The lowest Netflix account that lets you stream is the .99 one.

  49. QUESTION:
    If I get a second xbox 360 can I use netflix on both?
    I have an xbox 360 in my bedroom but would like to buy one for my living room so I can watch movies with the family. Can I use my same profile on the second xbox? Will netflix streaming work on both of them?

    • ANSWER:
      The netflix streaming will be tied to your gametag. If you move your gamertag to the other 360, then it will work there. But then of course you have to move it back to the other one when you want to use it over there.

      If the only thing you want to use it for is streaming movies, there are dedicated devices you can buy that might be cheaper.

      Well the deal with streaming is it is completely dependent on your connection speed. If you have a great connection then many shows are in hd, if your connection slows then it will change to a standard definition almost seamlessly.
