Good to know. I already stream through my Blu-ray player. A great service to have if you don't already have it.

Reserved the instant streaming disc.

Anyone have any idea why you need a disc to make it work?

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

I wonder if I should get Netflix now. It would take two movies a month to make it worth it.

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.

Hmm. Netflix doesn't seem to have a Canadian web site. Does anybody know if their service is available in Canada?

Only thing we have is Zip.ca which is almost like netflix.

 

I use it and it's ok using Canada Post.

No digital streaming feature though. :/

Thanks for the response. I guess I'll stick with iTunes for my ditigal media.

26 Million I thought it was 30 Million, maybe they were refering to older numbers.

I might bite, if my parents will let me on their account. Really don't watch enough on my own for this.

It is a rumor that Microsoft payed for 1 year of console netflix exclusive, and a 2nd year of disc-free usage on home consoles. Heck, the PS3 is using a disc and comes with a 20GB HDD minimum, so you can't argue that it is a lack of storage space on the Wii.

I also reserved my copy, even though I already have this for the PS3. The Wii uses a fraction of the electricity, so I don't mind cutting my bill if the video I'm watching isn't in HD anyways. My wife watches a lot of older movies, so hopefully she'll use this instead.




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

I have the next to cheapest service (unlimitted streaming, plus one DVD at a time).  We can typically do 3 movies a week (except holidays), two if we don't watch immediately.  They have lots of distrubution centers, so it's generally only 1 day each way delivery for us.

Unless you don't want to watch very many movies, it should be easy to do two movies a month.

It is just one day each way for delivery for me too.
