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...

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By Basbear · Posted

      After seeing hits in the last two UDFA pools, I do not in this group sorta of a let down after I gassed myself up.  Not like I know of their games, but just expected more. The duke DT only has to beat out hunte (2025 UDFA) or Ray (DL coach's kid) or even Cam Jackson mid 2025 5th.  I thought they would bring in more edges, IOL, TEs, etc...

      The Icky knee didn't explode draft

      By MHS831 · Posted

      My 2 favorite picks, since you didn't ask? 3. Brazzell II.  A 1000 yard WR with 4.37 speed and checks all the boxes for a Z Wide Receiver.  IN THE THIRD ROUND!!! 5.  Sam Hecht.  I think he will take over as the starter at some point this season and never look back.  IN THE FIFTH ROUND. Runner Up:  2. Hunter:  We were targeting a DT early in this draft because we did very little to replace Robinson in free agency.  Hunter was our guy and he will start. In addition to that, you got a starting tackle that should man one side of the new OL we will build for Bryce's second contract. A starting WR, offensive lineman, defensive lineman and possible Offensive tackle (at some point during this year from this draft will start.  UNREAL. In addition, I don't doubt that Wheatley (5th round) takes the FS job by next year and Lee III is Jackson's replacement in 2027.   Finally, even Kuwatch should be a special teams demon and LB depth.   Last year's draft was so good it was ugly.  This one will turn out to be uglier.  No offense Basbear--this ain't about you.
