Those who have an Xbox 360 with an Xbox Live subscription are going to be able to link that up with a Netflix account.

The whole idea is to basically have the Xbox 360 act as a set-top box for Netflix, allowing the device to stream movies to your console.

With this news now being released, Netflix has signed another deal with TiVo as well, a very similar deal.

The Xbox 360 service will feature over 300 titles in high-definition to start off with.

From there, Netflix hopes to eventually have the entire library of 12,000 movies and TV shows available to Xbox Live users.

As stated, the service will be part of the launch of the Xbox Live Experience coming in November.
