Netflix Wii streaming discs to arrive in mailboxes tomorrow

[DaveSimmons]

so how do i do this?

1. Buy a Wii
2. Join Netflix
3. Ask Netflix to send you the Wii disc
4. ???
5. Profit!

What confuses some people is that you have to add movies and TV shows to your queue using a browser before they will show up in the Wii / 360 / PS3 lists.

Awesome!

Better resolution than my low end computer and I haven't gotten any buffer pauses yet either. Much better experience for me.

How's browsing the library? I imagine it's good enough for most people.

I didn't spend too much time on it. I'd say it's easiest if you put a movie in your 'instant queue' from the web browser beforehand because that's the most readily accessible menu in the wii interface.

Otherwise, there are the major categories to peruse, w/o sorting iirc, but I'll have to check it out better when I'm next able to hijack it.

Yeah, I'm impressed. I don't have an HD TV, but I think the picture quality is excellent on the couple movies I have checked out. The menus are very easy to navigate with the Wii remote once you have set up your instant que through Netflix website. I received the disc this afternoon and set up was a breeze. I am really pleased with the service so far, and it's much better than watching movies on my laptop.
