WANT TO REVERT TO THE OLD NETFLIX HERES HOW- if your like me (and pretty much everyone ive talked to you hate teh new netflix interface. why they literally screwed up everthing about it i dont know. but the good news is the old netflix app is still on your xbox and you can still use it.
STEP 1 hit the xbox button and goto the gams tab and select quickplay,then goto the al tab on the right and scroll down till you find the old netflix app (it should be a little white flim strip in th emiddle not the shiny red on at the top) select this now. you should get an error message but jsut click ok
STEP 2 now you should be at a netflix screen that tells you theres and error and you need to register netflix on this console and it should have the register code in the background covered by the error message.leave it on this screen and then
STEP 3 go online to your netflix account and click on the YOUR ACCOUNT & HELP link at the top rigth. it will bring you to the accpunt page scroll down a little bit and under the WATCHING INSTANTLY ON YOUR TV OR COMPUTER section click the MANAGE NETFLIX READY DEVICES AND COMPUTERS LINK. then click the disconnect device button and confirm
STEP 4 finally got back to your xbox (which should be on the netflix screen with the error message and the option to TRY AGAIN click this now and it shoudl remove the error mesage and show you the registration code enter this now on your computer and presto the Old (and much better) netflixs app.
you can use either app now without having to do all that stuff again but you can only access the old netflix app through the quickplay option. if you click on the netflix icon it will brign you to the new (and annoying) one. its so sad that we have to do this they shoudl simlpy give us the option of which we want to use but they would rather force the new on on us anyways ENJOY GUYS and thumbs up if you found this usefull
Regardless, absolute credit to Fleshpuppet for this info. I'm creating the thread that way people who don't like the new Netflix have an idea how to get their beloved previous version back. Unfortunately, no fix for the new Dashboard...probably won't be =/
However, if you were already on the old Netflix you can stay on it for as long as you wish to keep your Xbox console running...so at least you can get a few final moments with the old setup before wishing it farewell (unless you're one of the lucky few it doesn't corrupt for).
OH wll not 10 hours after i posted this they disabled it. WHY i ask you, do they care if i want to use their old interface. it wasnt hurting anythgin by allowing me to use the older (and far greater) program espically since its on my xbox still just sitting there on my harddrive. this is like cyber facisim. i dont like the new version and im not just shouting whiney non sese complaints but i had VALID reasons and it jsut a dick thign to do. so even though ive been and XBOX LIVE subscriber since the original xbox and even though i jsut puurchased an xbox kinect bundle for christmas. i will be returning it and canceling my subscription. turning off my auto renew and gettign a netflix box from netflix.com. i know they dont care and that to them it doesnt matter but i was a diehard xbox fanboy and now i hate the service. PLEASE i urge yo uto call 18004myxbox and let them know your displeasure and perhaps they will fix at least this but i doubt it.
The war for who will be the formidable Internet media player in your living room rages on, with the latest strategic move coming from Netflix's updated application for Xbox 360 that makes viewing and discovering videos and movies easier from the Microsoft entertainment console. The new features were announced Wednesday.
The goodies in the new Netflix package on the Xbox console include Kinect voice and gesture controls and a redesigned interface. Also updated are the "Recently Watched" display, Instant Queue, and recommended titles, which all show about three times as many viewing options than in the previous display. Virtually every aspect of the interface is accessible through the Kinect voice and gesture options.
Current Netflix users who are connected via their Xbox gaming consoles will have received the Netflix update in the December 6 Microsoft Xbox update. Those not currently using the Netflix application on their Xboxes can access it on Xbox Marketplace. An Xbox LIVE Gold membership ($5 per month), a high-speed Internet connection, and a Netflix unlimited streaming plan ($7.99 per month) are all required.
Also, as part of the update Brazil, Chile, Colombia and Mexico will be able to connect to netflix via their Xboxes for the first time. The UK and Ireland are expected to be similarly included in the fun in early 2012.
This all sounds pretty good, but one aspect of the update has me scratching my head a bit. "Rich interaction during play" is also featured as a new update, offering "related titles, rating capability, control of subtitles and audio settings, all simply by engaging the bottom of the screen," as video is playing.
Of course, these options likely disappear unless the console is engaged, the Xbox's version of shaking the mouse so the cursor appears. But given that the Kinect enables voice and gesture command, it doesn't seem out of the realm of possibility that a lot of unwanted interruptions could ensue, via a lot of not very helpful "options" popping up on the screen.
Netflix is one of the Web's veteran companies, founded in 1997 and debuting in the public markets in 2003. In April 2011, Netflix estimated it had 23.6 million subscribers. The Xbox 360, having sold over 57.6 million consoles as of September 2011, is one of the "big three" gaming consoles, along with the Nintendo Wii and the Playstation 3.
