In the press release, Whitten announced that the Xbox 360’s Netflix client will be updated to include search - which will be public this November.
Here’s the official statement:
About time, right? This should have been a feature from the get-go but, for whatever reason, it was not included. Albeit, you may have discovered some movies or television shows through browsing that you might not have thought of - but search is just so much easier when something particular comes to mind. It’s a pain to jump on the computer or use a mobile app just to add something to the queue that you want to watch on your TV that moment.
This update is more than welcomed.
Unfortunately, we do have to wait until sometime in November, but it’s safe to assume that with the launch of Kinect the same month means there will be some sort of dashboard update that will include the updates to Netflix. You can bet that, with Netflix paired with Kinect, you will be able to peruse your queue in Minority Report fashion - unleashing your Jedi powers.
Do you use Netflix on your Xbox 360? How would you change or update Netflix on the console?
