You should be able to download the new app from your screens...and no more disc for instant streaming.

Having a gaming family and one that watches a lot of movies, remembering to get up to switch out discs only once you've firmly gotten your butt dimple re-established in your big comfie chair and settled in for a movie is a pain because it's never in the machine when you actually want it, but always there when you want something else LOL

Whoo hoo! I need to look at how to do that for Wii. Sadly, I do not know anything about the Wii. My 5 year old knows more than me.

Oh yay! That's an awesome perk! I'm exactly like you Darcy - get myself all settled in and ready to watch something and then realize that I haven't put the disc in. Gah! :)

I am so thrilled for this. Now I just want them to offer parental restrictions by device for instant, it drives me batty that I can't watch certain stuff instantly on the tv because of the restrictions for my kids.

Yes - this! There are some TV shows that we like to watch on Netflix, but we feel like we have to block them so that the kids won't accidentally turn them on. Boo.

it annoys me, because on the computer I can just enter my password to be able to watch them, give me the option on all devices please.

LOL. Just downloaded on my Wii. What is up with the groovy elevator music on the Wii Shop Channel?

Oh awesome! I need to figure that out tonight! I can't count the times I've been all cozy under my laptop only to realize someone had used the Wii for games! :p
