Netflix subscribers in North America can stream hundreds of full-length films with todays New Xbox Experience update.
However, films from Sony's Columbia Pictures including Superbad and We Own The Night are unavailable due to licensing issues.
Netflix vice-president of corporate communications Steve Swasey contacted MTV Multiplayer to confirm the restrictions, saying: "A few hundred titles are temporarily unavailable to be streamed via the Xbox game console… those titles are still available to be watched on subscribers' computers and on TVs via other partner devices, and we hope they'll be licensed for Xbox 360 shortly."
There are no signs that film streaming services will be available for Xbox 360 owners outside of North America.
