See more » US Xbox 360 got some huge news today in Microsoft’s new partnership with Netflix, but the Dashboard’s got us pretty damned excited, too. We got a chance to sit down with Microsoft, including Shane Kim, VP of Strategy and BizDev for Xbox. Here’s what you need to know: Netflix * For now, Netflix will only stream in about-SD resolution. * As Netflix transitions to HD, Microsoft said it stands to reason that streaming HD to the Xbox should be feasible. (Read: eventual.) * Netflix will be for Xbox Live Gold members only, so you’ll be paying that $50 per year if you want it. * Netflix video sharing ONLY works with other Netflix / Xbox Live Gold subscribers. You can’t share video with a Silver member, or who doesn’t subscribe to Netflix. * Microsoft doesn’t seem to have concerns about redundant content between Netflix and XBLM, or Netflix cannibalizing XBLM sales. Makes sense — if you had content available to rent or stream with Netflix, you probably weren’t going to pay to rent it on XBLM anyway. Xbox Dashboard / Guide and Live * “No functionality goes away” in new Dash — so you won’t be missing anything you have now. * Microsoft’s Shane Kim says the company has “no plans to create a [Sony] ‘Home’-like environment. … It’s about delivering base functionality at the service level.” So it sounds like the avatars won’t have a Home-like virtual theme-park to run around in. * No comment was made about Xbox price drops or how long it will take to get to the all-important $199 price point. * There will be no increase in your number of Xbox Live friends. Psh. * Don’t like the new Dashboard look or avatars? Sorry, sucka, it’s a mandatory update. Hey, at least it’s free. * Microsoft didn’t have any comment on what it intends to do about the whole modded controller thing. * The content Marketplace will be overhauled and revamped to ensure it’s easier to navigate and much more scalable for the huge amount of content it’s got.
