I know it's probably because Netflix is a huge file and I have an old 360, but Netflix on 360 is TERRIBLE. Beyond terrible. I can't even search for a show on there because it's so slow. I was a major console gamer, so my 360 has been used continuously for years. But man, I don't even bother putting Netflix on there because it's so slow.

That's odd. Netflix is fine on my 360.

Yeah. Mine's good too. My 360 is from 2011 though. One of the black models whatever that is.

I got my 360 in 2009. It may be dying soon.

I got my 360 off Ebay in 2007, it was RROD'd on arrival, likely due to poor packaging and sitting in a truck, but Microsoft sent me a new one for it since it was unregistered (and I got the seller to refund $50), then twice when it died again in '09. It hasn't died since but I haven't used it very much. I just accept that it's destined for the graveyard like my NES' inability to play games, although 1/30 tries will yield a working Duck Hunt.

That wouldn't be so bad if people would just get pissed, not buy it, and then EA decide that was a terrible idea. Unfortunately people will get pissed, buy it, and EA will do it with more features.
