Netflix Rolls Out Major Update to Xbox 360 App: Includes Single Sign-On

  • Netflix is updating its Xbox 360 application this week, “the biggest update to arrive since the integration of Kinect gestures and voice control back in December of last year,” suggests TechCrunch.
  • According to the post, “the most notable changes involve improvements to Facebook sharing in select markets and single sign-on support using your Xbox LIVE credentials,” meaning users can sign in with their personal logins on devices other than their own.
  • Netflix has also improved Facebook integration for international users, allowing them to see what friends have watched and rated on Netflix.
  • TechCrunch adds that “unfortunately, these social features are not available in the U.S. at this time due to legal issues surrounding the 1988 Video Privacy Protection Act, which prevents users’ movie rental activity from being shared.”
  • Additional updates include: improvements to the Skip Forward and Skip Back buttons, a zoom for enlarging letterbox to full screen, and enhanced contrast for more vivid colors.
