Oh, wanted to add one draw-back. We ended up having to upgrade our cable modem to support 2 laptops and the live-feed movies from Xbox live at the same time. A bit frustrating when the movie pauses, but so long as we both weren' on the internet, we didn't seem to have too much trouble.

Just finally getting around to posting this, but we also had a great time. In fact, we enjoyed Netflix AND the Xbox 360 live feed so much we continued it. We have had to let it go for a few months to get our budget under control, but it will be the FIRST thing we bring back! We even dropped our movie channels to pick up Netflix and also the Xbox live feed. I loved being able to scan for a movie late at night and Netflix was awesome! Their turn-around, even during holidays, was great. My husband and I can't wait to get it back and MANY of our friends are excited about it as well! The free Xbox game is awesome too! It's nice to have something besides football, baseball, etc to play on the system. It's something I enjoy as well!

We had different party events with different dates... however, I lost all the pictures to the main party date. :( High tech sometimes can be a problem if a child gets a hold of it. Anyway, back to the party dates, we've had several parties and mostly watched kids cartoons... Our friends and family like the idea of Netflix together with Xbox 360 BUT they didn't enjoy not having many selections on new released movies. We all did think that it was not many selections on the top movies that we would be interested to watch on demand rather then get shipped to us in the mail... like blockbuster. However, yesterday, I was in blockbuster, yes, I have both accounts with netflix and blockbuster and I took both envolpes to be mailed in with me,to the blockbuster store, as our post office is walking distance to our blockbuster and when people in line saw both adverisment envolopes, they thought how wired it was that I had both accounts and when I explained that they both have good points and bad points, good points being both getting shipped out to us but one can be watched on demand on my xbox 360 rather then get up and drive to blockbuster if I felt having a lazy day and blockbuster, if you choose to drive to the store and exchange your movies for new releases that was placed on shelf that very day. Other then that, party was good but I feel as some where dissapointed as they were expecting to watch more movies aimed to please everyone rather then just the little ones. :)

Our party was amazing! My friends are all hooked on the entire Xbox Experience. The Scene It Game was a wonderful touch! We'll bring out the game every time we host a party!

The Scene It! game was AWESOME! I wasn't sure about it, but my 4 year old son all the way up to my 55+ father in law enjoyed it! Definitely a game for everyone! My husband was so excited about it that he went out and bought a 50" Plasma TV!!! I think maybe House Party is a bad influence on my husband LOL! He now thinks that this is the coolest site ever and tells everyone about it, which by the way is very UNlike him! We are doing it again at Christmas, and I'm going to have a prize for the winning team!

Everyone had a blast. We played the Scene It game first and everyone got involved whether they planned to or not (it was addicting). Then we watched Get Smart and laughed our heads off. My guests like the Xbox setup but we had trouble getting a Netflix account so we just used the Xbox Live points to get our movie. Thanks Microsoft/Xbox & House Party for the great party pack. My guests were amazed at the items from the party pack and thought the event was a smashing success.

* Did you like the party pack?

Our party was later but we all had such a blast! A lot of us didn't know that Xbox could do all that, even ones that already owned one...

This was such an awesome house party! We watched Ratatouille, a feel-good movie that appealed to everyone, and we played some games that we already owned. We also streamed some of the music from our computer through our Xbox. We loved that we could use one game system to do everything, and our friends loved the party. Thanks!

The Scene It game was a blast! Watching the movie Dan In Real Life on Nexflix was awesome. I really enjoyed the house party experience overall and I would look forward to experience another one!

Our Party was a great success; we watched The Strangers, what a jumpy movie. We celebrated with a pre-thanksgiving feast with roasted turkey with cranberries (red for netflix)and cheesecake (with lime topping for xbox). The evening was finished off with a few rounds of scene it? The Netflix wouldn't work for us, but we made due with the points cards for the movie rental. Everybody loved the scene it? game and the remotes that came with it; it was a fun activity to get people talking and having a good time.

They could not wait for Saturday! We started the party Friday and night and it went through the night on Saturday. We watched movies, played Scene It!, Guitar Hero World Tour, and Kung Fu Panda. Everyone now wants an Xbox 360! Netflix was awesome! The movies played perfectly and the picture was great! Yes, I went a bit overboard, I got Guitar Hero World Tour and Kung Fu Panda for the party! Everyone wanted to make their own avatar to use while playing games online and offline! Thank you Microsoft and House Party!

WOW , what a great party! We watched family movies and played scene it and ate popcorn and some of the suggested snacks that I made. We love the new xbox experience and it has revived my love for xbox and netflix as well! Our guests were all saying that they were going to get xboxes and netflix for christmas now as a family gift, since the xbox is now more than just a gaming device. My son showed them how to hook up your ipod and reminded everyone that you can play your dvds on it as well.Thanks for the great party!

Wow, we had such a great time. We played Scene It and absolutely had a blast, so much so that we couldn't stop playing! Thanks so much to Netflix and Xbox, and of course House Party, for such an awesome party pack!

This had to be the best party ever! I loved everything :) We watched robot chicken and played rock band. I let a guest take home the scene it after the party :). Again, it was the best.

Our party was so much fun. We watched Holiday Inn with Fred Astaire and Bing Crosby. The netflix/xbox set up was so convenient and easy to use. I like that you can watch movies immediately with no going to the store or downloading. We played lots of games on xbox with gears of war 2 and the mini golf arcade game being our favorite. The party pack was awesome! Thanks!

We had lotsa of food to choose from; popcorn, pretzel, nacho's, hotdog, and tons of candy. We ordered Tropic Thunder from netflix and it came the day before. but we also streamed No Country for Old Man. Our party played 6 games of scene it and went untill 1 am. It was a blast and we can't thank house party and x-box enough.

Our party was a lot of fun! We watched Meet the Robinson projected on the wall. Everyone thought that was cool, just like a movie theater. When the kids got bored the adults played Scene It.
I think everyone enjoyed themselves.
Thanks HouseParty, X Box and Netflix.

We had a great party Saturday night. Thanks, so much, to House Party, Microsoft and Netflix. We played Scene-It over and over and then watched some episodes of the Showtime Show Dead Like Me from the season we downloaded from Netflix. We would have liked better instant view movie choices, but we are enjoying watching some shows that we don't get with our cable.

Wow - what a GREAT party we had, my son and his friends (and me as well) played Scene It! until the wee hours of the morning, the new Xbox live features are amazing! They linked with others online and had 'parties' that way too! We watched Billy madison and had a great evening, this party lasted 7 hours!!!!! This was by far one of the most FUN parties I have ever hosted of any kind. The boys had a blast and it was wonderful!

Better late than never ;-) My camera battery died, so no pics...bummer!

We had a great time, and the teenagers had an AWESOME time!!! I'm not sure how late into the pm (or should I say early am) they played until LOL

I absolutely loved Scene It!!! It was full of surprises, and very entertaining!

Thank you SO much for this experience :-)
