NetFlix for the NIntendo Wii?

[Unknown Poet]

So I got a Nintendo Wii finally, and been playing the old school games.
But I found out there's software that lets you stream netflix TV and movies,
for like 8.99 a month.

Does anyone have this on their Wii, and is it worth ?
Let me know cause I'm thinking of getting it.

I got a wii sitting here and netflix, I been meaning to fuck with it and see if I can figure it out, but I havent yet.

its cool, works just like streaming it to your tv/xbox/ps3/computer except this one you gotta request the disc from netflix. they gotta pretty big streaming selection but usually not the newest releases. good for tv series like dexter...

 

[NiNe2FiVe]

^^^oooh, you need to get a special disc?

Do they got the old school horror movies though? I really just want old horror if they have it, and comedy, but do they got the old TV shows like Knight Rider? If they do I'd get it just for that. But the new releases do come out eventually right? like after a while?

Well then I'm gonna try this out, cause 9 bucks is just a trip to Wing Stop... so it's all good.

Its probably like watching stuff on the netflix site, only certain things you can stream directly.

I want scary movies, Well i'll try it out. There's a free trial. So if I like it Ill keep it. I just hope they got some scary films..

Yeah pretty much. I have it on My 360 and my kids use it on their Wii. No new movies but I use it for older movies, tv shows, and documentaries. Only thing that is different from online and/or xbox is that you have to have the disk, which is free anyway.

and netflix wii discs are free on there site if u got an account.

u only can watch movies from their "watch instantly" section, but they got some decent shit sometimes.

The one thing I noticed was that you can't search for movies through your system, you have to save online movies to your Instant Queue on the PC....well for the PS3 from what I've seen.

get the free trial and browse the section on netflix where you can watch instantly, yes there is a decent selection of older horror.

If y oualready have netflix (like I do) get the disc for wii and ps3, i get the most out of my netflix now. My sons can watch on either the wii or ps3 and my wife and i use the 3 sent to home for movies we want to see

same with the 360, they got a small selection when viewing on the console but its easier to add them to your instant viewing queue online, that way you can search

Very Nice, I have wireless net, with a router I bought. Now I just gotta try the free trail. If they got older horror, then I want it. And if they have cool TV shows that's good to. I'm gonna try this out..
Cause Hulu is good for TV shows, and it's free, but it's doesn't work on the Wii. only on PC.
