The following time you hit the Netflix app in your Xbox 360 the update we heard about at CES would be waiting, bringing Kinect owners the power to browse through their videos (like ESPN3 and Zune have for the reason that peripheral launched ) without digging a controller out of the couch cushions. After the 43Mb update downloads waving ones hand for the camera or saying Xbox will pull up the brand new menu seen above, which auto sorts selections out of your queue for browsing by voice or gesture in line with what it thinks it’s your decision to monitor next. Selecting “browse all” brings you right back to the usual menu and is definitely one of the method most probably want to stick to, however with the ability to pause the movie quickly during playback by simply saying Xbox, Pause (or FF, rewind, skip scene, etc.) is extremely convenient. Not near your Xbox? Look at a short video of it in action after the break.
