How to Order Movies From Netflix for Xbox 360

If you're tired of renting movies from a video store or buying DVDs that you only watch once, you can opt to watch movies from Netflix instead. Netflix allows you to stream movies through your computer or through certain video game consoles, such as the Xbox 360. You must have a Netflix account and an Xbox Live Gold membership to access Netflix movies on your 360. Once you download the Netflix application, you can begin streaming movies instantly.
