Wii becomes third console to stream Netflix - console

Looks like you'll get to watch Netflix on the plaform of your choice which is great news for that family of four that only own a Wii. An Associated Press story confirms that Netflix streaming will be added to the Wii this Spring, by way of a special DVD that must first be inserted into the console: Wii owners who have a broadband connection and a Netflix subscription that costs at least $9 a month will be able to watch those programs with no extra charge.

Nintendo Co. and Netflix Inc., which wouldn't give an exact launch date for the service, were set to announce the deal on Wednesday.

To watch flicks through the gaming system, Wii users will need a special "instant-streaming" disc that Netflix will mail out in the spring. They will then be able to use the Wii's motion controller to navigate through their Netflix account and pick what they want to watch. This setup is similar to the way Sony Corp.'s PlayStation 3 currently streams Netflix programs.

Owners of Microsoft Corp.'s Xbox 360 can also stream Netflix, but the service is only available to Xbox Live "Gold" members, who pay $50 a year mainly to play games online.

M$ could sell chocolate fireguards to it's xbox owners.. and they would gladly buy them.

The worlds biggest corporate monopoly and it CHARGES for everything???? Is that RRoD a subliminal message that hypnotises ALL owners into believing that all things M$ = good
