A couple feature requests for Netflix.#

I really love Netflix and I'm sure I'll love it more once it's built into the Xbox. Still though there's a couple things I really want.

  1. Maintain a complete history of every movie that I've been sent and have watched instantly. Denote these movies with a different icon or something. I can't really remember half the time if I've seen something or not. The rental history is obscure and annoying.
  2. The new releases feature is kind of annoying now, not at all useful. I'm sure some love it, I personally hate it. What would serve me better and I'm sure anyone else who prefer home theaters to the overpriced counterparts would be a release history similar to what IMDB does for movie releases. Just list movies by release date in the theater from now until 6 months back. Even if the movie isn't on DVD yet at least then I could save it for later.
  3. Allow me to share my list of watched movies in a nice view on the web more easily. Especially if it were possible to tag movies as "owned".

Heck, if there were a Media Center app to expose this that also worked on the Xbox as well that'd take care of one other little thing I'd like to have :).
