    1) Sign up at Netflix.com. Give them a fake US address. It has to be valid though.
    2) Sign up at Entropay.com. Use that virtual VISA card to pay for Netflix
    3) Open up a US Xbox Live Account (Silver is fine)
    4) Sign in on 360, go to video section, download Netflix application.
    5) Open app. Choose to use a gold account. Select your main account. Get activation code.
    6) Find proxy, go online to www.netflix.com/activate
    7) Stay on proxy, add titles on website.
    8) They pop up IN FRONT OF YOUR EYES.


    Haven't tried it myself but seemingly it works!

    And get banned from Xbox live. Do that at your own risk. Having a US account on a european 360 will get you banned. Its against Xbox terms, they stated this a while back when the movie downloads weren't available in Europe.

    Plus sony today have pulled all sony movies from Netflix xbox 360. Which is a lot of movies.


    Lads your NXE experience won't last long if you do the netflix hack.

    I have an American account for the last 3 years which I use all the time and I am on Live most days.Never had a problem.
    And I would hardly call it a hack,I save that for other "electronics";)

    like all the bans Xbox. I mean barring a profile you just created wouldn't stop you creating another one.
    I created a US profile in the past myself, before MS warned people if they did they will be banned from live. All to get a HD movie that wasn't here in Ireland's marketplace yet. It was then around the same time MS realized what people where doing.

    So you've got a US profile which you use on xbox live. That you gave a US address for, ZIP CODE, etc. Do you pay for anything like DLC using it, or movies?

    I was banned around that time. I'm not saying I was banned for the US profile or for other reasons(prob the later). But Major Nelsons blog did say faking a profile to get region locked content will get you banned.

    But slightly off topic, why bother with netflix. Plenty of other ways to get movies online and play them on your 360 for free. lol

    its works but I got no sound? Like it works up to the point where I play something and then it just stops.. ok... fixed it... I have to turn off my tv and turn it back on.. wtf?

    was watching the office and the quality was amazing :eek:

    kinda a waste of time now.. have to use all dodgy accounts etc etc and I can be bothered doing that and dont want to run the risk of being banned. damn americans getting all the good services.

    Keep in mind you need a Gold Xbox Live Account too for Netflix, so that's a second subscription you gotta pay. Not worth the hassle, I'm sure they'll block this soon.

    I've had a US account on my xbox since I bought it as well, but not intentionally - the hotmail address I used for my account had an american address on it so it automatically set my profile as US. I even rang microsoft to ask them to change it (because I can't use my credit card to pay for points because the addresses don't match.) and they said it couldn't be changed now without creating a new account. I didn't want to lose my gamer points and achievements so I told them I wouldn't create a new account, they said there was nothing they could do. So in effect, microsoft have turned down money but not allowing me to use my credit card :eek:
