Netflix has officially launched in New Zealand on Xbox One and Xbox 360, giving all Xbox Live members with a Netflix subscription access to thousands of hours of exciting film and TV content – including critically-acclaimed shows Marco Polo, Orange Is The New Black and Marvel’s Daredevil.
The cutting edge Netflix app, which can be downloaded from Xbox today, lets users stream content in standard and high definition, find titles easily by searching for title, actor, director or genre, and with Kinect, you can play, pause and rewind selections with the wave of a hand or the sound of your voice. You can even start watching your favourite film or TV show on your Xbox and pick up where you left off on your Windows phone or other Netflix enabled device, taking your entertainment with you on the move.
Xbox users will also benefit from the innovative Netflix recommendations engine, which learns about the content you love to watch and suggests similar films and TV series you’ll enjoy based on your viewing behavior.
Xbox One in New Zealand has a console exclusive Netflix bundle available at selected retailers that includes a three month prepaid subscription to the Netflix service upon purchase of the console. Also available to Xbox users is a free, one-month trial of Netflix when they download the app.
The addition of Netflix on Xbox One and Xbox 360 is the latest move in Xbox’s dedication to extend its entertainment offering and be the number one entertainment platform in Kiwi living rooms.
