3DS Netflix arrives and works great. Except for one thing…
Netflix hit the eShop today! After a quick download (free) and a couple of hours testing, I’m happy to report that the 3DS version of Netflix is fast, uses the dual screens well, and delivers–mostly–a very enjoyable, satisfying experience. Films and programs load briskly, and I experienced no buffering pauses during my viewing. The interface, very similar to the Wii version, allo...
Nintendo 3DS to receive Nintendo Video, Netflix
One of the most interesting features of the 3DS is its ability to play 3D video content. In the US, the only 3D video content to be found was a trailer for Green Lantern and a video feature jumping dogs. That is all about to change.

One thing Netflix needs to fix”¦
I love Netflix on Wii, especially the improved no-disc-required version. The company recently announced its commitment to greatly increasing the rate at which it adds new films and shows to the service, with an eye toward eventually phasing out DVDs altogether. While they’re at it, I hope they address a nonsensical quirk in the interface’One that ignores the fact that many subscribers only w...

Here’s the Netflix commercial to promote streaming movies on Wii
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0Qjqt1UqAw[/youtube] One million people instantly stream Netflix movies on Wii. With more than 70 million systems in the wild, however, Netflix wants that to number to be much higher. So they released a cute little parody commercial in an effort to get the word out.
Netflix Wii adoption not that bad
Netflix on Wii has been a modest success, reports Reggie Fils-Aime, with almost 1 million users logging in and using the disc-based service since its inception last month. As GamesIndustry.biz puts it, this information “flies in the face” of “analyst” Michael Pachter, who “predicted” Wii owners would not warm to the service because they don’t go online as ...
Update: My experience with Netflix on the Wii
About two weeks back I happened to receive a free Netflix disc for the Nintendo Wii that came with a perk of a free month of service from Nintendo themselves. I already had a Netflix account so the free month of service actually was pretty cool perk. I was in doubt about how well the service would work on the Wii; seeing as how I already use Netflix on my Xbox360. My mom on the other had, has neve...
