Nintendo has announced today that the Netflix on-demand movie service is now available for the Wii.
Like the PS3, the Wii’s streaming service will require a disc inserted in the system to access Netflix’s on-demand options.
With this new offer, the Wii also becomes the lowest-cost entry to streaming video of the three major consoles. Anybody with a monthly Netflix plan of $8.99 (or higher) has access to the new option, and the console runs for $199 or less, which has endeared it to consumers everywhere.
The Wii Netflix service does, however, have two downsides: the disc is required for streaming service and, since the Wii doesn’t have high-definition capabilities, you’re out of luck if you’re looking for HD lovin’.
Interested parties can visit netflix.com/wii to order a disc, shipped first class for free.
