Hi folks, just wanted to let you know (for anyone who wants to know)there is a workaround to be able to get/use netflix on your 360 even if you're not from the US

you will need to follow these steps:

1) Sign up at Netflix.com. Give them a fake US address. The adress has to be valid(google).
2) Sign up at Entropay.com. Use that virtual VISA card to pay for Netflix
3) Open up a US Xbox Live Account (Silver will do)
4) Sign in on 360, go to video section, download Netflix application.
5) Open app. Choose to use a gold account. Select your main account. Get activation code.
6) Find proxy(i'm using this 1: http://www.hotspotshield.com/),
go online to www.netflix.com/activate
7) Stay on proxy, add titles on website.
Cool They pop up instantly on your 360 once you added titles.

@chakdeindya: Bad choice of words..sorry my bad..what i meant to say is this:
to acces the netflix app u will need a US account, silver will allow you to acces it,but you once you have accesed it then you can sign into it with your main/excisting non US gold acount..so in short yeah you need a gold account to sign into it...sorry english not my first language,misunderstandings can happen Sad

even better, share a queue with 3 of your good buddies and activate up to 4 xboxes on 1 Netflix account. I managed to do it by accident attempting to activate a friends Xbox using his activation code while logged into my netflix account. Bam. Unlimited movies for like 2.25 a month.

I dont see them changing this either as the xbox is considered a "netflix ready device" which your account covers the activation of 4. Since they dont seem to be scanning IPs.. these 4 units dont even have to be in the same house! You can all watch the same movie at the same time or completely different movies, it doesnt matter.

1 small caveat is that if you remove a device you cannot activate another for a year, so pick 3 good buddies that wont back out on you and youre golden. Cheers!

Well... go about signing up the normal way. Create a netflix accout etc. Activate your xbox on that account. Now that you have a Netflix account setup, go to the website and login, then go to www.netflix.com/activate.

Have your buddy turn on his xbox, download Netflix, and get the activation code. Take his activation code and input it on the www.netflix.com/activate page, while logged into the account you already created. Viola. He now has basically a clone copy of your Xbox Netflix queue.

Just remember, you can only activate up to 4 xboxes a year per account. Have fun!

Let me know if I forgot a step or you cant get it working.

Thanks for this. But I have one concern.

When I signed up on Entropay I had to use my current address to add my visa so they can charge my card. It is not in the US. When I input the Entropay CC info on the Netflix website they required a US postal code with the CC number. So I used the US postal code I used as the address on there. But I have a feeling there will be an issue charging the card after the 2 week trial is over since it isnt the right Postal Code for my Entropay account. Any insights?
