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 strato · Posted

      Yep. I was hoping for and calling for a day three guy. But I didn’t research the position to say if we should or should‘t have jumped at a particular guy at a particular spot.    And everything I read said it was a poor draft for RBs depth wise. I guess when Seattle takes a backup RB in the 1st, that kind of backs that up.    I definitely think we should keep 4 running backs and if King can play well enough then keep him too.    I believe I heard Canales say we are a running team (talking about drafting a WR he will be needing to block as well as catch). Well if we are gonna be a running team by identity we don’t need to stock the WR room to overflowing. If one room has to sacrifice, it should not be the RB room given our circumstances.

      Dan had a great draft

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      If there's a pattern I'm definitely picking up from Dan and company is a philosophy of making trades where we try not to sacrifice the number of draft picks we have by day's end. In other words, we're not giving up three picks for one, or giving up a future pick to make a pick today. And even if we give up something at the start, we make trades later to make up for that initial loss. Here's how it stacked up for 2026: How we started: 19, 51, 83, 119, 158, 159, 200 How we ended: 19, 49, 83, 129, 144, 151, 227 (no future picks sacrificed) Ultimately, we moved up two spots in the second to ensure we got someone we coveted, gave up a few spots for our fourth round pick, but then had better picks in the 5th (and got really good value out of them), and had a worse 7th rounder which isn't that big of a loss anyways.  At this point, we can question who they draft, but they're pretty good maneuvering across the draft board.
