New Xbox Experience
Turned on my console last night and downloaded it, looks pretty slick but I'm still getting used to the interface.
NetFlix streaming... haven't looked into what type of NetFlix account I would need though. Anyone have this setup?
There's an option to download games to the HD, again haven't tried it but it might be nice so I don't have to keep switching out games.
Avatars are a direct rip from Wii but as they say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

I tried looking around on-line but didn't see an answer yet. I was wondering if I could do their cheapest 1-out-a-time 8.99 plan, still get the movies in the mail and still stream "unlimited" movies to my xbox. So so... Netflix has a customer again

i signed up for this n' use it all the time now. 
just choose the cheap option with unlimited streams. all depends on your internet connection though.
i found out last night that my cable company has been capping me at 1.5mbps (causing netflix to give me bad video quality)....for the longest time.....sad part was i was paying for their 6mbps package the whole time....
Yay for NXE

oh and there's a limited amount of movies you can only stream to the xbox unfortunately.
also, SONY pulled their movies from netflix to prevent xbox users from viewing them
netflix is talking with sony to try n' get them back

The loading of games ontot he HD is a big thing for me. I had one game get ruined somehow in the drive. SOme games seem to be noisier than others too. I would only load whatever my most used game(s) were as I only have the 20GB drive.
Im leaving for a week tomorrow so I wont get to really look it over for a bit.
