Wii = Weeee no disk needed anymore

"Wii and PS3 To Be Disc-Free

This is Greg Peters, VP of product development here at Netflix. If you instantly watch movies and TV shows from Netflix on a Nintendo Wii or a Sony PS3, here is the news you’ve been waiting for: starting today, you’ll be able to watch movies and TV shows without inserting an instant streaming disc into your console. Once you've downloaded the new application, you can recycle the current streaming discs or keep them as a souvenir.

Comments: Our house is a zoo and of course in the process of preserving my Wee/Netflix disk, I can't remember where I "hid" it. So after reading uncountable Wee hack posts, I came across this bit of good news. You don't even need the disk anymore. Just go the the main screen and Netflx is waiting for you.

I've read whining about Wii "only" streaming Netflix in 480. Netflix streams 480 so it has nothing to do with Wee. Regular TV is 480 so no, it is not high definition but quite good I think.
