Ok, the last update (before this one) added the ability for netflix to automatically go to the next episode of a show automatically. Today's update seems to have removed that ability, and made it even worse than it was previously if possible. Now you have to select the next episode of the the show BEFORE it ends. If you don't it goes to a suggested shows screen with no option to go to the next episode. Meaning you have to exit all the way back out to the program select screen, pick your show again, then when it starts hit the more episodes button, then pick the episode you want.

Why the hell would they do something so stupid as this when they previously had things right where they needed to be?

I don't know, Netflix on the 360 used to be THE place to stream movies. Now it seems like they've removed all the features that made it great just to shoehorn in Kinect support. You can thank MS for that.

Well, I guess I'll be using my PS3 for streaming more now. Netflix on 360 has not been great for a couple years now and this is only adding to the problem.

Glad I cancelled my netflix back when they doubled their price. They never added movies, they just added tv shows and most of the ones that had were old crappy ones. Doesn't sound like it's any better now.

F*ck Microsoft and their damn Kinect nonsense. I wish this stuff was simple. I've enjoyed having Netflix over the last several years but it's now becoming an inconvenience. They're getting rid of all the shows, movies, and stand up comedy stuff too. Only the REALLY popular stuff on netflix has seemed to stick around.

Nothing has changed. It still counts down(which I never liked). It still allows you to pick your next episode.

I mostly issue my Apple TV or PS3 for Netflix, so whatever. Why they can't just all use the same interface is beyond me.

The picture quality for Netflix and Amazon have been horrible lately on Xbox.  Luckily they are crystal clear on PS3.

Been fine and dandy on the xbox, could be a loose wire on your xbox. Now youtube on the xbox is a pain, so much buffering on every other video.
