A small post over at TechLand reveals that Netflix Instant Streaming will be available on the Wii console this spring. We began hearing rumors shortly after the PS3 launch of Netflix streaming with their solution. So, in the near future, Wii owners will also be able to watch movies and television shows streamed directly to their system. However, like the PS3 solution, you will need to use a disc to access the content. There will also be no streaming of HD content due to the limitations of the Wii system. Netflix members must also have a plan that includes instant streaming.
Visit the Netflix site to request your Wii Instant Streaming Disc.

I have been into gaming for as long as I can remember. It started when I was young with various systems. I owned a Commodore 64, a Vic 20, an Atari 2600. From there I graduated to a Nintendo and eventually a Sega Genesis. After growing up and moving on, I discovered the Dreamcast and purchased a Nintendo 64, and a Playstation system.
I've usually been a bit slower in adopting newer systems and that continued on into the PlayStation 2 and GameCube days. I bought each system about a year after their launch. The same holds true for the Microsoft XBox.
That all changed for me when Halo 2 came out and the online abilities of the XBox really held me captive.
I purchased my 360 on launch day after waiting in line for 11 hours. I bought a Wii as soon as I was able to obtain one from a store that had a big shipment and recently I purchased a PlayStation 3 for some exclusive platformer games.
To round out my gaming hardware, I purchased a DS Lite and a Sony PSP. I also recently purchased a nice gaming system with Vista and have been having fun playing some Games for Windows and the Live interactivity.
My 360 gets the most use with the DS coming in second.
I prefer RPG and Platformer games, but can have just as much fun in a FPS, Action or Driving game.
