Netflix on Wii confirmed

A 1up for Nintendo's console

Movie-streaming service becomes available this spring

Thank goodness for that! An end to the incessant rumours — Netflix will be making it to the Wii in the next few months, according to The New York Times.

You'll be able to subscribe to the service for the humble sum of $9 per month. Once you're a member it's a simple matter of whacking the Netflix disc into your console and streaming some movies. As the Wii doesn't support HD, you'll be limited to their standard definition range, but if you watch a lot of movies and suspect you could be saving money with a subscription, it might be worth checking out.

Sadly UK users will have to go without, as Netflix is still a US-only service. But seeing as it'll now be available on all three major consoles, and Netflix seems to have made itself something of an industry-standard, world domination may well be the next step.
