Beginning "in the Spring," Wii owners will finally get Netflix movie and TV streaming, the third console to receive the service.
To use Netflix, Wii owners will be sent a free disc that must be in the tray at all times, just like on the PlayStation 3. Xbox 360 owners can access the service without a special disc, but pay on average $50 a year for their XBL subscription. You must also be a Netflix subscriber, with a subscription that costs $9 USD or higher. The streaming is then free.
In the United States, Nintendo has sold over 25 million Wii units, making it the largest user base of the current generation of consoles.
Netflix has 17,000 shows and movies available via its "Watch Instantly" streaming program.
