Netflix Is Now Kinect-Compatible On Xbox Live

We knew it was coming, but we can finally watch movies without a controller!

None

In a blog post early this morning, Microsfot's Larry "Major Nelson" Hryb announced that Kinect support for Netflix is finally available on Xbox Live. Early reports indicate that the functionality doesn't yet include access to the Watch It Instantly queue, but we imagine that'll get taken care of in a forthcoming (if unannounced) patch. Until then, jump into your Kinect portal and check out what Netflix is recommending based on your personal viewing habits—just like with Zune Video, you can play/pause/ff/rewing using gesture and voice. The future is actually here! [via Major Nelson]
