Xbox 360 in the US got great news today about Netflix and it’s partnership with Microsoft. They also got news that there is a new Dashboard coming in the fall.  Here’s what you need to know:
Netflix

• For now, Netflix will only stream in near-SD resolution.
• As Netflix transitions to HD, Microsoft said it stands to reason that streaming HD to the Xbox should be possible.
• Netflix will be for Xbox Live Gold members only.
• Netflix video sharing ONLY works with other Netflix AND Xbox Live Gold subscribers.You must have both.

Xbox Dashboard / Guide and Live

• "No functionality goes away" in new Dash — so you won’t be missing anything you have now.
• Microsoft says the company has "no plans to create a [Sony] ‘Home’-like environment. … It’s about delivering base functionality at the service level." So it sounds like the avatars won’t have a Home-like virtual theme-park to run around in.
• Don’t like the new Dashboard look or avatars? Sorry, it’s a mandatory update.
• The content Marketplace will be overhauled and revamped to ensure it’s easier to navigate and much more scalable for the huge amount of content it’s got.
