This week, Netflix announced the addition of “Just for Kids” to its popular app on Xbox 360*, allowing current Xbox LIVE Gold and Netflix subscribers to enter an experience designed exclusively for children 12 and under.
Netflix “Just for Kids” makes it easier for families to browse and watch a large selection of kid-friendly content. Kids can click and instantly watch their favourite characters, including many they’ll recognise from their favourite TV shows and movies. “Just for Kids” displays rows of titles organised by easy-to-understand genres, like superheroes, princesses, dinosaurs and girl power, featuring clear and simple descriptions of the plot of each title. Unique Netflix technology provides each member with a personalised “Just for Kids” experience based on taste and favourites. And with Kinect for Xbox 360, all of your favourite entertainment on Netflix can be found by simply using your voice.
Xbox 360 owners can download the updated app today in all markets where Netflix on Xbox LIVE is currently available.

The concept of a “kids only” genre is nothing
new. I have Dish, and when I added the
Blockbuster @ Home package to my lineup I was excited to see the Kid’s Titles
easily broken down into four distinct age-group categories! I can monitor what they watch, filter
according to age, and Dish recently added another 5,000 titles for kids. A Dish
coworker got me interested in the BB movie service, and I don’t have to have an
Xbox to enjoy it!
