Netfllix, the popular video streaming service, recently announced some updates for the Netflix app on the XBOX 360. Netfilix for XBOX 360 will now support Microsoft's Kinect peripheral device, which allows users to control games and multimedia with their movement.
Netflix users on XBOX 360 will now be able to play, pause, and choose movies with their body and voice. All users have to do to access this feature is launch the Netflix app and download the update. Users can then access the Netflix movies and control them with their body.
Traditionally, Kinect requires users to stand up when using it. Hopefully this update will not require users to stand, and hopefully will allow you to control Netflix with your body from the couch.
Kinect has sold very well in it's first year, and the introduction of Netflix will probably sell a few more units. Although Netflix has not yet started using this new development to help sell their service, they probably will start shortly, and this may become another Netflix selling point.
