You are wrong. So very wrong.
HBOGO will be much betterFor 7.99 its still a shit-ton better than anything else out there at the moment.

It would be better if you could customize whats shown on your page and limit it to nothing rated below 4 stars or recent theatrical releases.
Some things I like and some I don't. I would like to see a mixture of things from this version of netflix and the previous one.

Fuck, I'm right there with you. SMH.
My biggest complaint is how it looks when you're browsing through titles. I don't need to see every row of every catagory at the same time. Such a horrible UI, who thought that was a good idea?!
It sucked before and it sucks now. If you have a PS3, buy a Bluetooth remote and WIN.
bam.
If you have a PS3, 360 Netflix is obsolete.
Netflix has been a buggy mess lately. I've been using my PS3 and the fast forward and rewind buttons stop working completely. It's not the PS3 since local videos work fine.The HD playback is fine. Its just the streaming method has changed it doesn't do the long pre-buffering like before. Its actually in line with how it streams on the PS3 and web now. The quality is lower at the beginning and after a few seconds you should be seeing HD.
If you still aren't seeing HD maybe its a connection issue on your end or Netflix is experiencing load problems. You should double check the former and then contact Netflix support.
Except for the price. Cable TV subscription + premium channel subscription.
Except for some of us who rarely have our PS3s on. We are lazy and rather access it through XBL rather than starting up another console.
Looking at YouTube videos, it's definitely a nicer interface. Still, it isn't superior enough to turn off your 360 and start up the PS3 if you're already on the 360. The 360 app is still functional.So the shitty experience is less of an inconvenience than reaching out for another remote to enjoy a superior browsing experience? I can't imagine ANYONE is that lazy. You'd literally have to be either batshit insane, or not own a PS3.
Ever since PS3 got Netflix, I haven't used it on my 360 once. There's no reason to! The PS3 app is leagues better.
i like it. finally i can see other shows. netflix before this was "search, party, whats on your queue". im not gonna go behind my pc everytime i want to queue shit up.
how the hell was i supposed to find new shit? and now i can see the shows with captions? YESSSS!! fuck the guys complaining about the UI. its better than it was before. when will you guys be happy?
Wait... they made it even worse after removing party watch?
fucking hell
Edit: Gonna update the xbox and see for myself.

One device is already on, so I use that one. Switching to an entirely different system just to start up the same app? Even with the steps backwards made in the new 360 Netflix app, no UI is worth that level of inconvenience. If the 360 is on, I use that one. If the PS3 is on, I use that one.
Same here. Managed to get a couple of episodes of The Office season 7 in last night but that damn 'trying to start before you even select anything' shit has got to go. I do like how seasons are broken up now though.I tried running this and it locked up my Xbox.
Given the success of streaming services like Netflix and the decline of cable subscriptions because of it, my guess is it won't be long until HBO allows for direct billing.

The movie selection for Netflix streaming is complete garbage anyway.
Its the walmart bargain bin of shitty B movies and syndicated TV shows.
I'd be all up for it if it was like around $10. Until then...I'm not doubling my Time Warner Cable bill just to watch HBO.
alternative language tracks.[/B] Hooray.
Looks so much nicer now. Being able to select episodes while streaming is also way cool.
there's 5.1? get the fuck outta here which movies have that? I'm tired of this fake pro logic surround stuff I'm dealing with.
I still miss that awesome PS3 test UI.
The fact that the new 360 Netflix starts to play the instant you select a TV show makes it the worst UI out of every device I've tried.

well, for like $80 a month (or however much it costs to get Cable + HBO), it should be at least 8x as good!HBOGO will be much better

and how does that make the new app better? no one is complaining about the price, the new UI sucks is the point
Along with every other new thing that comes out, ever, it will probably be fixed in the next few weeks. Nothing ever goes 100% according to plan.

Moconews.net said:HBO Co-President Eric Kessler told a gathering of industry boffins this morning in New York that there is no chance his company will make shows like True Blood or The Wire available to digital non-subscribers. HBO currently has around 30 million customers, all of whom must buy its content as an upgrade from their cable or satellite package.
Kessler said that, despite the success of HBO GO (Its HBO Anywhere), the company has no plans to offer the new mobile offering to a broad audience. HBO first unveiled GO as a browser-only service last year and then launched it as an app for phones and the iPad this spring. Kessler said 55 percent of GO downloads have occurred on the iPad (GO is not yet available on other tabloids) while phone downloads were about evenly split the iPhone and Android devices.
