Thanks, Jay!

Too bad it's not HD.

That will have to wait till the WiiHD is released \:\)

Yeah, the current Wii's video chip only does 480p, so no way to get more out of the Netflix. From the rumors it seems the WiiHD won't be showing up until 2011.

I guess I'll get a current Wii if Nintendo releases a black one. Would like to beat Eternal Darkness, haven't played that since I disconnected my Game Cube.

You want some interesting colour schemes you should try using Linux. ;\)

Still decent news, though. Perhaps as a network media extender for secondary systems.

I heard they're going to call it WHiiD. The case will be green with a subtle leaf motif.

I noticed this, too. It's been in the pipeline for a while. We just got a Wii, and are avid Netflix watchers, so we're naturally excited.

Pretty soon youll be hard pressed to find a blender, toaster, or microwave that is not netflix ready.

I just wish there would be something available uphere besides your local cable companies on-demand service.

I wish they would put racing on netflix. Or on something other than live cable channels.

I even have a hard time finding WRC on torrent sites. Sports in general seem to be a area of lacking in any sort of streaming legal or not.

The Netflix thing has changed A LOT in just the last 8 months or so.

Yes, if I could stream Mariners baseball, I might be able to jettison D*TV altogether.
