Netflix is giving out 48 hours of streaming video on XBox Live in selected 360 games including the new Quantum of Solace. This comes hot on the heels of the new dashboard which includes the Netflix app.

This is actually an excellent move. The streaming on the 360 is a dream, it’s in everyone’s home, and it’s easy. Sadly, I think the limited selection will turn off younger gamers but this is definitely a great way to get older gamers in on the streaming action.
