Meanwhile, Nintendo is streamlining the instant watch process, adding the Netflix app right to the Wii Menu without requiring a disc. The app is free, and makes available the Netflix streaming library to anyone with a Netflix subscription and broadband access. Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime brags about the service in Nintendo’s press release (http://press.nintendo.com/articles.jsp?id=25904), but with Sony’s app launching as well, the Wii looks to be bringing up the rear.
