Netflix movies to stream on Wii

Los Angeles -- Netflix movies and television shows will soon be streamed into U.S. homes through Wii game systems, PC World reported.

The service requires a special free disc, a broadband link and a Netflix video account, which runs about $9.

The magazine said the drawback of the plan is that, unlike Microsoft's Xbox 360 and Sony's PlayStation -- other systems capable of streaming Netflix movies -- Wii doesn't play programs in high-definition.
