Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Wii gets Netflix streaming "In the spring!"

A Disc?
Why not WiiWare? why not PSN or Live? Why Discs?
Discs can't store data. So they need to use the internal storage. How about the option of Digital download? unless I can by a Netflix Wii disc at my nearby EB I don't see a whole lot of a point.



Squilliam: On Vgcharts its a commonly accepted practice to twist the bounds of plausibility in order to support your argument or agenda so I think its pretty cool that this gives me the precedent to say whatever I damn well please.

Netflix sends you the disc for free if you have a subscription with them.  You don't need to buy the disc.

Nordlead already answered this in his post above. Microsoft supposedly has timed exclusivity for disc-free streaming.
