Who uses this? I just signed up when I found out I can use my Wii to download movies to. $9/month for unlimited downloads? Now i can go back to see all of Sons of Anarchy's 1st season...I had the wife convinced we needed a new BluRay player to be able to use the Netflix option, but then I was told about the Wii thing. Just wanted to see what yous opinions were...

I stream a LOT more than watch DVDs now. Never had an issue with a DVD but I can see it as a possibility.

I have netflix on my XBox but the interface is MUCH better and easier on the BluRay - I have the LG BD-570. It also does Pandora, some other movie streaming, and Picasa as well as home network sharing.

First, let me say: "Usenet FTW"

But as long as you're paying for it, streaming Netflix is a good way to go. However, the biggest issue with using Netflix on the Wii is also the biggest problem with the Wii in general; NO HD.

It's 2010, and IMHO non-HD is no longer acceptable. Blu-ray, PS3, PC, 360, and you can get streaming HD netflix.

*Disclaimer: I own a Wii and enjoy it. I bought it based on the awesomeness of nintendos IPs, specifically Mario. But I still resent them for not making it HD.

Signed up for it a few months ago... Honestly I don't have time to watch the movies that I request!

Movies come pretty quick once I send the old ones back and I have never had a problem with any of the movies that they have sent.

The Wii will do 480 with the component cable, wont it? Not HD, but DVD quality, and that is what I've been watching for years. Dont get me wrong, HD is definitely the way to go, but really, I only own 1 HDTV and 7 CRTs that I still watch. And I do have an HD DVD player that upconverts standard DVDs, as do most BluRay players, so I do watch DVDs in scaled 1080p. But everything else is SD, and Im good with it. When I own a better HDTV then I will worry about getting the most out of it. I have a Mits DLP that I got back in '04, and things have changed quite a bit since then. Hell, my TV only has 1 HDMI port...

Thanks for the replies...

    • I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!
    • Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.  
    • Not really, the only QB's (other than Anthony Richardson) ranked below him are new to their teams as a placeholder starter or drafted in 2024 or 2025, not a lot of gymnastics to get there. It's not about how many that is, if it's 20, 12, or 2... It means there isn't a QB who's team has committed to them for the long term right now that they have ranked below Bryce. That's not a great thing.
