I don't game XBL, actually I don't think I have any games that I can play on XBL, I use it only for the netflix option. I agree with Jim that there aren't a lot of great titles on it but I've found that I watch it more than I do the movies they send me. I wouldn't mind a cost increase if they increased the number of titles available, or had better titles available. I love the service!

I have seen some titles that looked awful, but others (especially their HD content) that looked better on the Xbox than it did on my cable box. All in all I think it is about on par with my digital cable service. It really depends on what you watch.

I only have 3meg broadband but the image quality on my 52" plasma is surprisingly good. Obviously not DVD quality but better than Charter analog cable. I've never suffered *any* buffering once the stream starts -- usually takes about 30-60 seconds. The only really obvious codec artifacts are blocky pixelations in dark backgrounds. Wonder how long it wall be before they jack the price up -- unlimited streaming is included in my unlimited (one-at-a-time) mail service plan.

It looks like trash. I can watch it with decent video quality on my Mac. But on the Xbox, it is unwatchable. Shame too. Great idea. Just need to improve video quality. I tried it.
