Los Gatos,
Calif.
– Online DVD rental
service Netflix (NASD: NFLX) announced on Wednesday that it has signed a deal with Nintendo
that will bring the company’s instant video streaming service to the Wii
console. Streaming to the Wii is expected to become available to Netflix
subscribers at the $8.99 per month level this spring in the U.S.; users
will have to request a special software disc from Netflix to load onto their
Wii consoles. Unlike the rival PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360, however, Nintendo’s
Wii supports only standard-definition video; Netflix’s service offers HD
streaming to compatible devices.
