I was beyond excited when I heard the news that this Spring Netflix will finally come to the Wii! I personally cannot wait for this because I am a subscriber to Netflix, which I mainly use to stream movies to my Mac, but now I will be able to stream videos to my TV, which I currently only use to play Wii with! So this is really a win win situation myself and my TV as we will be spending much more time together very soon!
Apparently, this will be achieved by using a special Netflix DVD that you can request from Netflix, which will download the necessary software to the console, allowing you to stream content from your wifi internet connection. Although other console video game systems already have the ability to stream content through the web and this is long over due, I am glad to finally see Nintendo catching up with the rest of their competitors in this aspect!
