Oh c'mon, if we can still all laugh at RRoD and "Riiiiiiiiiiiidge Racer!" jokes surely the duct tape is worthy.

Ridge Racer? I can't even fathom a single RR joke from the past sixteen years. Not one.

Well...Ridge Racer 64...but even that was decent.

Oh...R: Racing Evolution. Oh man that was ass (and tits).

RRoD is a beast by itself.

It's funny UNTIL IT HAPPENS TO *YOU*!

...unfortunately YOU = Everyone Who Owns A 360 now, so I guess it mathematically is no longer funny.

I already have Netflix on my 360 and PS3, but what the hell, right? Oh, just so you guys know, I also share my Netflix account on my friend's 360 and my brother's 360. You know, in case you wanted to share with someone else also.

Just keep in mind that there is a limit to the number of devices that can be used for streaming. The number gets reset yearly.

"BD-Live is Blu-Ray only, as it relies heavily on Java."

You do realize one of the touted features of Java is "It runs on everything", right? The original idea for Java was that it was a programming langauge that worked the same on whatever hardware reguardless of the OS. It was slow as hell, but did work. Now a hardware manufacturer can block Java from working on hardware if they want to (such as a cell phone manufacturer or service provider blocking Java so you can't install your own games and sofware) but it's still runs on most everything.

Java has existed long before Blu-Ray, long before the PS3, long before the PS2, hell, before the PS1. It has existed for longer than some of you have been alive.

Now if only the CRTC would let us use this in Canada, we'd be set. Can we shut them down? They only help the big corporations by dumping on the consumer.

when are you people in Canada finally going to shut up about netflix and video download services? Just torrent all the movies you want until they finally lose enough money to realize how dumb it is to not have a paid movie service in Canada.

I'm new to Netflix, so I'm wondering if you could use this on your Wii while using one on your PS3 or computer at the same time, so different family members can watch two different movies.

You can do it, but I find it to be pretty taxing on my wi-fi. It's a much better streaming experience if you're not trying to do two at once.

I'd like to see some kind of explanation as to HOW this works.

On the PS3, the disc uses BD-Live integration. Does the Wii just treat it as a new game with online capabilities?

I would guess that the disk has an application to access a netflix portal or emulates something similar to BD-Live.

I don't think they can emulate BD-Live, so it must be some sort of portal.

Why would it have to emulate anything? It's a streaming software. It runs the software, the software logs into the service, and shows you a list of movies to pick, you pick one, it streams.

@Chris

Well it can with a software update (which naturally involves hacking/using homebrew to an extent). I remember wiifanboy used to have an article about how do to it displayed on their side navigation.

But it doesn't seem like it'd be that hard to do it. Instead of making it a game they just made it a program on disc. That program launches, probably asks for your Netflix login info, saves that, then simply streams it to your console over the regular internet connection. Just like streaming from a PC/browser.

I've got Netflix on my 360 and I'm enjoying it, especially being able to catch up on Lost, but... Fast forwarding and rewinding still seems extremely glitchy... it goes to the panes/scenes, but 3/5 of the time I click on where I want it to jump to, it exits out of the movie. I click "resume" and it takes me to a totally different part of the video than I requested.

Has anyone else been having this problem? It's a small annoyance, but an annoyance just the same.
