Multiple Xboxes - one Netflix account - Question

[poppe]

I have a couple xboxes and would like to be able to use this new netflix thing. Does anyone know or has anyone tried (I haven't signed up for netflix yet) watching netflix on one xbox, stopping it, turning off that system, and going to a different xbox.

- - I am not looking to watch netflix on multiple xboxes at the same time - -

Any thoughts?

I think it remembers where you left off no matter what device you're on; so if I go from my 360 to my Macbook, it should remember. You can only register a finite amount of devices, though, so make sure you're happy with registering each Xbox.

Should work similar to purchased songs and authorizing iTunes accounts. You can only have 5 computers linked to the same iTunes Store account

Interesting... I wonder how that works if I take my hard drive to different places.

Well the reason I asked is because I use multiple Xbox's and didn't want to be limited to the one in my bedroom. So we are limited to 5 xbox's?

I looked everywhere for this info, my dumb-ass forgot to check netflix's Terms of Service.

Along with streaming on four unique devices, it looks like you can also watch Netflix on multiple xboxes/devices at the same time if you have a multiple disk plan. Very cool of Netflix!
