Tried this last night and it's pretty cool. You download a small Netflix app on your 360, which then gives you a code. You goto Netflix's website, and enter in the code to sync your Netflix account to your 360. If you don't already have a Netflix account, there's an option for creating one.
Any movies you have in your 'Instant' queue will then be available on your 360. So basically you have to build your queue online from the 'Watch Instantly' section. Hopefully in a later update, you'll be able to browse and queue movies directly from the 360.
Last night I watched Superbad via my Netflix account. Picture quality was perfect. Sound was perfect. Movie streamed instantly. No more waiting for movie to arrive via mail, and can now watch a movie anytime I want -and- don't have to own the movie. Easily one of the best features ever added to the 360.
Not yet... but I'll probably try that soon. Of the two movies in my 'instant' queue, both were SD. I'll have check out what Netflix has in the way of HD.
"Ah, HD DVD, our old friend - we thought we'd never see you again. But there was no mistaking it, here's the logo tucked away in Chinese manufacturer TCL's booth on a China Blue HD deck next to a similar Blu-ray player."
