Netflix has updated its app for Xbox 360 today with a few more features. The headline change seems to be a new contrast setting that the company says makes "colors more vivid and black more pure." Along with the new contrast settings, the update introduces a zoom feature that'll let you get rid of those letterboxes and fill out the entire screen with video — at the expense of cropping the image on the left and right, of course. Additionally, there are new skip forward and skip back buttons that promise to make navigating through TV episodes quicker and easier, and in every country but the US the app now features Facebook integration. Netflix hasn't yet introuduced Facebook features to the US because of the VPPA act, which the company is actively trying to change. If you're looking for the update, you'll be prompted to download it next time you open the app on your Xbox 360.
