Netflix Steaming coming to Wii

A report from the New York Times states the streaming video service Netflix will finally be heading to the Nintendo Wii, with an official announcement coming tomorrow.

"Our growth in the last two years has been propelled in large part by our investments in streaming content and in the streaming platform," said Netflix CEO Reed Hastings. "When the Wii application ships, it's going to really open up a large additional opportunity."

The report also says Wii owners will be able to subscribe at a minimum $9 monthly cost, and like Sony's PlayStation 3, will require a Netflix DVD to be inserted into the console before playing, which will ship to owners at no additional cost.

The service will be available this spring.

I rather have it on the PC since I can use a laptop and stream from anywhere that has an internet connection like a Coffee shop, school, etc.

I don't think a school be very happy that you are streaming movies on their internet.

I agree, but you might be able to get a way with it by watching "National Geographic films, March of the penguins, Classic Films, Disney Earth, and other educational films." since you can say it is for educational purposes.
