Netflix users will no longer need a disc to stream "Watch Instantly" content through their Nintendo Wii game consoles, Netflix announced Monday.

Starting today, Wii streaming access is available as a free download from the Wii Shop Channel. The option will install on the Wii Menu for easier access to Netflix's streaming library. Users will need a Netflix subscription, broadband Internet connection, and a Wii console to take advantage of the offer.

"This simplified Netflix access will help bring families together more quickly, more easily and in more ways than ever before," Reggie Fils-Aime, Nintendo of America president, said in a statement. "More than 3 million Wii systems have already connected to Netflix, demonstrating how easy the service is to set up and use."

ooooo, quite nice.

Not as good as it could be. I would love for them to fully implement the Netflix website style onto the Wii, but this is definitely a bit of an improvement. Especially with the search feature...

I usually have to build up my queue on the computer first and do it that way, as the movie lists they do on the Wii are much smaller.

WRONG.

PC has had it forever! GTFO!

PC > Wii > PS3 > Xbox (or Microsoft anything for that matter).
