Netflix Streaming Arrives For the Wii
Grant,thompson writes "As announced in January and mentioned here on Slashdot, Netflix is sending out discs today to enable streaming on the Nintendo Wii. 'Netflix has sent out emails to customers who pre-ordered the Wii's instant streaming disc, indicating that the disc will arrive in mailboxes tomorrow, and that the service will likely start within the next day.'"

So I don't have to wait for the DVD to come in the mail, huh? That's awfully con-Wii-nient!

Philistine. I bet you aren't even using $100 Monster-brand premium gold-plated HDMI connectors for optimal signal quality and maximum color-accuracy and sharpness!
DVD-quality is not crap, but frankly I do rather watch in HD quality. I have a 50" TV and better HDMI connectors (studio quality, cost like $100.. but for me it's worth it) from PS3 to it and it's clear how much better HD quality is.
I hear that square-wave signals look WAY better when they travel through way-overpriced copper rather than inexpensive copper. You can totally tell the difference!
Slashdot still doesnâ(TM)t support Unicode after it was added to the HTML standard in 1997.
If you have to get up and fumble with discs every time you want to switch tasks, this is a big Fail for the Wii in terms of convenience.
Think of it as "Wii Fit Lite"
RTFA! All you have to do is build a Wii Emulator for Linux and then you can run it in that instead of a Windows VM. Sheesh.

I call shenanigans - there's no such place as Canada.

Good thing the Wii isn't in HD, huh?
Why stop there? I only use copper mined from a small mine in the amazon that has been blessed by a local shaman. You think your picture looks better on expensive copper? Mine comes from the freaking amazon. Like acai berries. Ever heard of them? Yeah.
My TV signal is freaking sweet.
