I have and I give a so-so review. It can only be accessed if you have windows vista so if you have xp if could be a problem. I have an xp machine getting repaired so I guess I will see what I can do. The video qaulity is that of vhs but its not terrible I am viewing from a 720 projector on a hundrend inch screen. When I get my xp pc back I will probably watch netflix movies that way but as far as the 360 goes its atleast worth a look.

See this review (http://www.missingremote.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=2759&Itemid=1) of the THREE current MCE Netflix plugins, as of late May2008, for more info.
There's a Netflix plugin for XP MCE 2005, NetflixMC (http://www.geekitsolutions.com/project/NetflixMC/Windows-Media-Center-PC-Plugin/), but it apparently doesn't support Watch Instantly for the Xbox 360 extender.

Yeah I pretty regularly use the vmcNetflix plugin. It works very well for my needs. I'm currently using it on a 46" Samsung 550 and it looks very acceptable to me. Now I just wish we could stream Blu-Ray and 5.1 audio. :cool:

Exactly blu ray with 5.1 audio would be great. I truly believe as an video download enthusist I love what Netflix is doing especially with MS. I believe they have the best chance to give us what we want as far as unlimited moves for a flat fee. Once they get HD or HD-LITE you may really see this take off. I like it like you said it fits the need when you want something to watch thats not on cable.

Just setup and NetFlix account and installed vmcNetFlix and it works like a charm. Huge library for only $9 a month. Great frak'n deal.
I live in Canada but have a relative in the USA. Can I setup a NETFLIX account through that address and be able to watch movies via pc in canada? Or will it be blocked?
