The E3 2008 Microsoft Conference announced numerous Xbox Live additions, but one of the biggest is the news that Microsoft has partnered with Netflix to offer rentable movies on Xbox Live.

Netflix members will be able to watch over 10,000 movies and television shows for no additional charge exclusively on Xbox Live.

There's an instant watch queue system in the Xbox dashboard.

But the biggest feature is the ability to share movies and shows with other members in your party. Users will be able to send the movie to up to eight other 360 users and separate users can watch the movie simultaneously.

Theres not that big of a variety of movies that can be watched by stream, either way its free and a nice feature. Hopefully the categories increase now that netflix might get a boost in service subscribers.
