Nintendo Wii Netflix Streaming Disc’s being Shipped

Posted by

Wii owner’s have been waiting on this day since they heard about the rental service coming to their system which I think was in early January. Customers around the US are receiving email notifications today stating that their Watch Instantly disc (required for Netflix playback on the Wii) has shipped, and it should be waiting in their mailbox before this weekend begins.

I wonder how this streaming service will perform on the Wii since there is no 1080p content available. Let us know in the comments below your thoughts and if you’re a Wii owner and Netflix subscriber when you receive your disc.

    The PS3 is the same way. Why can't they be like the 360 and just have an app installed to stream the videos? I don't like getting up to remove the game disc to just insert the video disk and then going back when you want to play once again. I love my XBOX. :D

    Reason for that is what Netflix and MS have as a deal. That deal is "supposed" to run out this fall/winter, which is when a native PS3 app will be out. But, and I repeat but, MS has executives on the board of Netflix. I wonder if that deal will be extended ;)

    OoOoOo… Interesting. I did not know that. I wonder what will happen this upcoming holiday season for that deal. I guess we'll have to wait and see.
