Soon this spring Nintendo Wii owners will have access to Netflix’s media streaming services. Start at a minimum plan of $8.99 a month, users will have the same privileges as Xbox 360 and PS3 owners. As with the PS3, Wii owners will have to obtain a free disc from Netflix’s website, and will have to load the disc to actually stream content. The disc ships this Spring, and you’ll need a broadband connection on your Wii. What I’m wondering though is that since the Wii cannot go past the 480p mark, there will be no HD. Would you still bite?

Well, after years of buying an over priced console, the Wii if officially going to be $199 instead of $249. Nintendo has confirmed it, and it is effective Sunday, so don’t buy your Wii till then! (But I wouldn’t buy a Wii anyway, a PS3 Slim is better.)
Anyway, now the Wii can go in combat with its enemies, namely the Xbox 360 and PS3, both which are sold at reasonable prices.
So what do you think? Will the Wii win again the holiday season, or will the might PS3 with all the awesome games that are coming up will swallow the non-HD Wii?
Oh yeah, check out my new Twitter Connect button near the comment box, it’s cool!

The Nintendo Wii price cut rumor has been out for a long time now, but now it looks more real than ever. According to Nintendojo who were at a conference call, Nintendo “confirmed”" the price cut. Okay, this might not be real, but it’s a Nintendo conference call after all, so it should be real.
We’ll wait and see.
