The New Xbox Experience officially has been released by Microsoft today. This is a real big milestone for the Xbox 360 as it reinvented itself in several directions with this software update. However, all Xbox users who successfully applied to the preview program by submitting their valid console ID will be getting the update over the next few hours.

Netflix announced today that its streaming movies and TV service would be debuting at no additional cost to current Xbox gold and Netflix subscribers along with the NXE update. This isn’t the first time we have heard of streaming Netflix over the Xbox 360. The streaming service was announced in July when details of the NXE update first started circulating.

“With the New Xbox Experience we will reach the next generation of Xbox owners, 25 million and beyond. We are at a watershed moment, backed by the largest entertainment brands, with an incredible line up of entertainment unmatched in any industry.”

Qualified Xbox users will get access to a catalog of 12,000 movies and TV shows that they can stream over the Xbox 360 directly to their TV. Netflix says that the movies will begin playing in as little as 30 seconds.
