For the next set of XBOX Live updates coming soon and more in August this is in no way a short list, there is not a single thing here that would seem to me like an unneeded or or wasted idea so get ready for what sounds like one huge update and of course the 24 hour stretch with out live.
Heres the list you been waiting for: Netflix Updates
Now you can watch movies with your friends no matter where they are and manage your queue from the comfort of your couch.
Movie Parties Xbox LIVE Gold members can sit together in a virtual theater with up to seven friends no matter where they are while your Avatars watch a movie, flirt or even throw popcorn at each other.
Manage Your Queue Browse the Netflix Instant Watch video catalogue, choose from the most popular movies and genres and add to your queue all from the comfort of your couch no computer required.
Enhanced Playback Experience Enjoy a smooth viewing experience when your internet bandwidth fluctuates.
Friends Info Richer information is now displayed in the Friends channel and in the Guide showing what you and your friends are doing.
