Netflix on Wii? Now that's interesting. Too bad I'm no longer a subscriber.

Excellent! We just got a Blu-Ray player with Netflix streaming a couple of days before Christmas and I am a bit tempted to drop my cable package to a lower end package since I'm mainly watching network TV or streaming Netflix.

This will now allow the kids to stream through the Wii in our living room rather than having them in my bedroom watching our TV. One can only take so much Barney, Caillou, etc...

I already have one for my PS3, why not for Wii too. :)

I see nothing :(

The link puts me on their homepage... Hmmm.

Now I don't have to think about getting a Roku!

I just read that this was confirmed! thanks for posting the link

Wii isn't high def either.

Worked for me. Thank you for the link.

I have been using the Roku to watch netflix on my television; it's been incredible, SOOOOO incredible. Best purchase ever. So I am excited that we can have the same thing on the tv up front now!!! IT'S SO AWESOME.

So, would one normally have to pay an extra fee or something for the Wii disc? If you have a plan where you can only have one movie at a time, does the streaming disc count as your movie? Can you use this disc on multiple Wiis (not at the same time), or does it get registered to a particular Wii?

Got one coming... Wahoo...!

I already have Netflix on my 360, PS3 and now my bluray player...don't think I need it for the Wii too.

@phoebus13: You should take a look at how the PS3 disc works; this will likely be exactly the same. To answer your questions:

1) No, which doesn't really make this a deal. I don't know why it's here.
2) No, instant watch is unlimited and does not affect your DVDs
3) You can use the disc on multiple Wiis, but will probably have to register each one with Netflix. You can only register 6 devices per Netflix account.

Thank you very much for the info, zorg50!

Sweet can't wait! To bad I spent the 20 for PlayOn recently. :(

A little while ago I found out that you can only stream Netflix for the primary account signon. So for those parents that have separate accounts for kids to manage their own queue, they will need you to log in on the Wii. Maybe Netflix has removed that restriction by now.

@mrtaylor2112: I have used my 360 and I currently use my Tivo, quality is great but both are high def. devices, the wii isn't.

I just get the home page. Logged in or not. Did they take the deal down?

@mrtaylor2112: my 360 works flawlessly with fios, hard cabled.

@ ~ decibeluo
Nope, I just upgraded my account a couple weeks ago, so my kid could stream her stuff and i could stream mine simultaneously. Only the main user can stream, no profiles. Your kid can use your login and stream at same time, but they get FULL access to your account.
Netflix needs to explain this missing detail and fix it so profiles can stream (profiles have parental settings, so why cant they stream)

@ ~emergingdzns

In order to take advantage of this offer, you need to be sure you are on a plan that allows streaming.. For those that need to know, Streaming is allowed on one (of I thinks it's 3 registered devices) at the $8.99 level, and simultaneously on 2 (of 6 registered devices) at the $13.99 level (please make sure you read the first part of this post in regards to dual streaming)

The only downside to it is that the Wii is currently incapable of HD. We'll just have to wait for the WiiHD to come out...... Whenever that is.

SUH WEET! Thanks for posting this!!! Now I know why I never bought that Roku!!! :)

Console Netflix is awesome...especially since they added the ability to add movies to you're queue straight from the console...

Love me sum Netflix.

...now I just need to sign up for it again :)
