I've just set this up, thanks for the heads up. Sadly it doesn't seem to be available on the android app, windows 8 app, or my Samsung Smart TV, yet.

The video does say its just PS3 and Website at the moment but it will be rolling out on everything but the Wii and Android within the next 2 weeks (Android and Wii apparently will come later)

Supposedly watchlists are coming too for everyone outside the US which I can't wait for as its the most annoying of the features that is missing for anyone who signed up using the non-us version as their start point

Agreed. It's easier to browse shows on a laptop than it is using the tv app.

Think it may just be for those who have 'officially' had the update pushed to their account rather than those of us who have cheated to get profiles activated.

Certainly I don't have instant queue yet

Has anyone here had it roll out to them without using my shortcut to enable it? Netflix seem to be suggesting when it official rolls out to a user the ability to select user accounts becomes possible on other devices such as iOS so just wanted to know if someone could confirm this.

Also GONZO suggests that Instant Que has been activated so it would be nice to know from someone who's got the official rollout if that's part of this update

There's no profiles on iOS as of yet, so far for me I can only change profiles on the web version.
Instant Queue shows up fine on the web version and Windows 8 app, but on Wii and iOS I can add stuff but it will not show the list. I've got the section, but its just blank on iOS and on Wii I've got a message that says cannot acces at this time, please try later.
If I change my Netflix region to the US however on iOS all queued items show up fine.

I can change profiles now on the PS3.

Apple TV as well. Works pretty good.

No sign of instant queue for me though, neither on the ATV, roku, Samsung TV, iOS or web. Certainly hope this comes a well.

Sure, you could treat them a bit like playlists I guess.
