Netflix and my 360

Can anybody explain how this works?  How long does it take to download a movie?  If this is one of those things were I can push a button and start watching, I might be interested.  Also while I am at it, how do I download a game to my computer and what are the benefits versus just putting the disc in?

Yeah, you just push a button and after a minute or so of pre-caching, the movie starts. The movies are streamed and not downloaded, so they don't stay on your harddrive.

the movies from netflix is streaming.. so you dont actually download.. also the video quality is based upon your internet connection.. the benifits of downloading a game to your pc is so you dont have to have the dvd drive spinning the entire time.. and typically you need the disk anyway. the only way to really get around this is to get the "no disk crack" which allows you to not to have to put the disk in to play the game.. Google it!! ;)

Can you pause while you are watching?

yes you can pause the netflix movie just like pausing a dvd. right now netflix has a 2week trial. $8.99 is the lowest priced one for streaming movies to the 360. once you complete the sign up go to instant que and start selecting movies for watching then go to your 360 and the movies will be there to play
