Microsoft has said this week that the updated Netflix app on the Xbox 360 features Kinect support, meaning "controller-free movies and TV shows."
Says Pete Thompson, General Manager, Xbox LIVE:
The Netflix app is available to Xbox Live Gold subscribers who also have a Netflix subscription, which starts at $8 per month.
Adds Netflix:
Using Kinect, you can play, pause, fast forward and rewind using voice control or a wave of your hand.
By integrating Kinect into the Netflix experience on Xbox LIVE, we're continuing to transform the way people enjoy their favorite entertainment in the living room. Since its launch, Netflix has always been one of the most popular services on Xbox LIVE, so we are excited to deliver a brand new way to control this experience in a way that can't be found anywhere else.
