I don't know about you, but I alway lose my remote control. So this morning's announcement that Netflix is adding Kinect support is like a message from God for me. Kinect support for Netflix will allows consumers to watch content streaming from Netflix with just the wave of their hand and sound of their voice. You'll be able to download the update, the next time you log on to your 360.
“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,” said Pete Thompson, General Manager, Xbox Live. “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.”

This means voice commands work too...pause, rewind, fast forward and stop...

How will Kinect support for Netflix help you with loosing your remote? Don't you still need a remote to turn on the t.v. still?

From what I just read on Kotaku is that the Kinect controls for Netflix are terrible and are only avilable for "suggestions for you" and not search or browse.

Hmm, interesting. Could be pretty cool or just another lost or useless integration. Only time will tell...

Meh, i'd rather use the controler instead of waving my hands trying to position them right.

Lose =�to misplace
Loose = not firm or tight

Finally!! Because I use to get frustrated that I can use the Kinect for Zune movies, but once I turn on Netflix I have to switch back to my controller. Only a matter of time before all of their apps will be kinect enabled

I was so excited to see this but for some reason they way it has been integrated. I can't search titles with it and that is a disappointment. I love it once i start a show.

Your remote control is loose along with your spelling standards.

This sounds cool but I'd rather not pay 100$ just for using no controller to acess Netflix.
