vmcNetflix turns your Xbox 360 into a streaming Netflix player for free

Roku’s $99 Netflix Player is an undeniably good deal - but we’re willing to bet there’s plenty of Netflix subscribers who already have an Xbox 360 and Windows Vista in their home, and aren’t hip to the fact this is all the hardware they need to watch the content in their Netflix Instant Queue on their TV.

All you need to do is install vmcNetflix, a donation-supported Media Center plug-in, and fire up your Xbox 360 in Media Extender mode. For detailed instructions, visit Lifehacker.
