    Had a quick look at it and the selection of shows and films on offer doesn't look great. Even in 'recent films', most of them are at least 2 years old.

    Annoyed as well that they made the effort to add a load of British shows and added a 'British Films' section, while we were just an afterthought with no Irish shows added and no Irish Films added.

    Am I missing the rest of the available movies? The site says "1000s" but I can browse only 100 or so??

    The kids animated section makes this completely worth it.
    X-Men, Spiderman, Beyblade, Hey Arnold, Iron Man, Incredible Hulk, Sonic O_O

    Dunno about the selection, but watching Arrested Development and the HD streaming is fantastic!

    I can confirm that if you have/set up a US account, the app works for xbox live. :D

    If you go to Taste Profile and Taste Preferences, the amount of sub-genres to rate is huge. Actually a pretty good selection of stuff I'd watch on my Home screen after going though all that.

    According to this Netflix is close to signing Sony, Disney and Paramount so that will add a lot more content.

    Go to: Hotmail.com and create an account.
    Create it preferably in the region you want to have your xbl account set up for, US or UK.

    When thats done head over to xbox.com and scroll to the bottom. Again, chose the region. In this sense, pick United states.
    Now make a new xbl account using your newly made email address.
    (for the zip code, i used 10017. Its central parks zip, ;) Dont forget the password you give the account.
    When the account is up and running you will be given a randomised gamertag.

    Now, go to your xbox and sign out. And chose sign in.
    Instead of signing in with an account saved, go to the right and pick download account.

    Put in your email address and password of your created account.
    You will then download the profile and have a free membership in the region you made it for.
    This means you can download apps such as 4od from the UK site and use it with your irish gold account.

    Download the apps you want and then sign in with your regular profile. Go into your apps and it should be there. :)

    Done and done, thanks very much :)

    Unfortunately, seems netflix doesnt work on the xbox yet, not for me at least

    I hadn't signed up when looking around initially, and for some reason the "Browse" section shows a load of crap before you join!! Hardly a good advertisement. But everything is available now that I've signed up :)

    I just signed up, kinda happy. Some shows on there that I have to watch to geek out on like firefly or doll house (shame to say I didn't see them yet)

    And while I own Buffy and Angel in iTunes, WTH is it on Netflix!?

    Also a bug on 24, Only showing seasons 1-4 when there are 8.

    EDIT: Who owns the rights to Buffy for the european market?

    Wow. Just signed up and the selection is actually quite good. There home page when you are not joined would put ALOT of people off. They would want to get that sorted.

    US apps seem to be IP locked. So the likes of HULU wont work over here. :(
    Although, the UFC app works.
    The 4OD app thats available through the UK accounts is a must though. Works exceptionally well. :)

    About €0.25 a day for unlimited streaming on all yer devices is fairly good I think.

    Aye, i tested a few of them. UFC works but i dont think you can actually buy any of the events?

    Ah, 4od, have now seen every episode of Skins and Shameless thanks to that gem

    Really wish Last.FM worked though
    :(

    I'm just saying I think over the week the catalogue should beef up as films are promised to be on there like Pulp Fiction, Lord of the Rings etc as check the Netflix press releases etc. And if MGM does James Bond... hehe!

    It worked for me automatically I think, I watched an episode of South Park in HD and after a few seconds at bad quality it loaded in HD, I could be wrong though I'm sitting a good bit back and wasn't paying attention fully
