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...

      A look at the team after the draft and udfa signings...

      By KillerKat · Posted

      My projection. I think at WR its time to go with youth. This means Moore should be the odd man out. Horn can return both punts and kicks and Tremayne is a better WR than Moore. XL gets one more year to prove himself, although I could see a trade in the future which would mean Moore could stay. For OL, I would like us to bring back Brady if we can. The RBs, Trevor can return both punts and kicks too. With the uncertainty of Brooks and Dillon, its hard to choose either one. I think the team would like for Brooks to have a breakout season to clear any uncertainty that he deserves a spot. For now, I have them both even and on the team. DL looks solid as well as OLB. Watch out for the UDFA of Aaron Hall and Isaiah Smith at OLB. They look promising and could knock someone off the team. ILB is still the biggest weakness on the team. We need to upgrade that any means necessary. CB is strong and Im praying to all the Gods that Wheatley beats out Scott at FS.  OFFENSE: WR: Tetairoa McMillan - *Chris Brazzell II* - Brycen Tremayne TE: Tommy Tremble - James Mitchell LT: #Rasheed Walker# - *Monroe Freeling* LG: Damien Lewis C- #Luke Fortner# - *Sam Hecht* RG: Robert Hunt - #Saahdiq Charles# RT: Taylor Moton - #Stone Forsythe# TE: Ja`Tavion Sanders - Mitchell Evans WR: Xavier Legette - Jalen Coker - Jimmy Horn Jr. QB: Bryce Young - #Kenny Pickett# RB: Chuba Hubbard - Trevor Etienne - #AJ Dillon# - Jonathon Brooks DEFENSE: LE: Tershawn Wharton - Bobby Brown III  NT: *Lee Hunter* - Cam Jackson RE: Derrick Brown - LaBryan Ray LOLB: Nic Scourton - Patrick Jones II  LILB: Trevin Wallace - Bam Martin-Scott - *Jackson Kuwatch* RILB: #Devin Lloyd# - Claudin Cherrelus  ROLB: #Jaelen Phillips# - Princely Umanmielen LCB: Jaycee Horn - Akayleb Evans RCB: Mike Jackson - *Will Lee III* - Chau Smith-Wade SS: Tre`von Moehrig - Lathan Ransom FS:  Nick Scott - *Zakee Wheatley* - Demani Richardson  SPECIAL TEAMS: K/KO: Ryan Fitzgerald P/H: Sam Martin KR: Trevor Etienne - Jimmy Horn Jr. PR: Trevor Etienne - Jimmy Horn Jr. LS: J.J.

      So is Legette getting traded?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      His contract is guaranteed.  Legette is just not where he needs to be mentally.  Not fully invested, it seems.

      Literally like Hill. He's not QB1 material (now or ever), but if we can turn him into a H-back and use him like  Swiss army knife, that's his ticket to make the roster.  H-back/emergency QB.  I wonder how good his hands are?  If they are at least above average by NFL standards then we can line him up in the backfield, in the slot, split out wide and of course, in the Wildcat.
