Netflix Shipped out Discs for the Wii

Netflix has been dominating the gaming systems lately when it released a disc for the PS3 so users can stream movies on the entertainment super system. Being a PS3 owner myself and a Netflix lover, this is a marriage for the ages, and I am not the only one who believes so. Everyone is raving about how Netflix is trying its best to be where the customers is. This means game systems and other outlets as well. But the marriage for Netflix on gaming systems isn’t complete because the Wii, the fastest growing system out was left out.
Not any longer. Discs have been shipped out for the Wii so users can stream movies and TV shows straight from the system.
Although I personally am not a fan of the Wii gaming system, I’m glad to see those users will have the same abilities I have with streaming movies. It really makes the in between wait for a new disc worth it when you have the ability to just stream it on your TV. Netflix is doing a good job of adding more movies to the stream online feature and now if you add a movie to the instant queue, you can watch it straight from the Wii. The Wii is the weakest out of the 3 main gaming systems but without 1080p output with streaming, the quality should be fine and there should be no lag time. Things will only improve, and once Netflix can get more movies up online, streaming movies will be the main way of watching movies soon.
If you are a Wii owner, have you received your Netflix disc? If so, what is your experience with it?
