Wii with Mii!

Hack · 04-26-2010, 09:09 PM

I'm more of an Xbox 360 guy, but my mom really digs Wii Bowling. She got addicted to it at a rehabilitation hospital after her hip replacement surgery last month. Needless to say, I know what to get her for her birthday this year. lol

Sorry............we just bought a PS3 - it comes with a blu ray player, netflix streaming, and an internet connection and free access to playstation's network. (you just use your own broadband connection). I think XBox Charges a monthly fee to connect to the internet. Loving this netflix streaming option!! Oh yeah.

I think Wii has the Netflix option now too, but I can't be sure. It seems to me I saw that somewhere in an email from Netflix.

Yup, it does. All you need is the broadband connection.

I L-O-V-E My Wii. I have Animal Crossing & Harvest Moon but mostly play the games I downloaded to the Wii via the Wii shop channel. daisy and I got Super Mario Bros 1, 2, & 3 plus I was able to find a sort of obscure Sega Genesis game that My brother and I enjoyed playing growing up. (It's Toejam & Earl-don't judge Me.) :P
We also have the Netflix DVD and it was wonderful.
I'd love to get Mario Kart and some other titles eventually.

Wryly · 04-28-2010, 12:23 AM

I love my Wii.
Although - I don't play it as much as I used to.

I have the Wii Fit (the balance ones are my fave), Beatles rock band, Shawn White snowboard, Tony Hawk skateboard, Wii Resort (I like the golf, ping pong challenge and a few other games (that aren't all that great).

I don't play much during the summer - mostly during the winter. Except this past winter as my nephew got me hooked on PS3.

How does the Netflix work with the Wii? Any problems, issues?
Is your Wii on wi-fi or are you hard wired?
I'm thinking about joining and getting the CD.
I'm surprised Wii didn't work out a Netflix Channel deal.

MissGentleman · 04-28-2010, 05:34 PM

I don't play me Wii much, but I often jam on Beatles Rock Band... man I love that game, even if my Gretsch is screwed.

NJ!

I got the Netflix CD and set it all up with our Wii and we LOVE it.
Ours is wirelessly connected to our router at the house and even with our crappy internet service it works like a charm.

We got the 10.99 plan with 1 movie mailed at a time, the extra Bluray thing, and unlimited Wii watching.
We have already gotten our money's worth in the last 2 weeks having watched 3 new movies and countless documentaries.

You'll LOVE it!

Corkey · 04-26-2010, 09:14 PM

Medusa · 04-26-2010, 09:41 PM

My coworker told me today that the Wii can stream Netflix as well! Anyone use it? Does it work? Love it? Hate it?

It does, but I think you have to send out for a DVD or something like that.

I don't have one so I can't give you anymore details.

I know Netflix works really well with the PS3 though

your wii has to be internet enabled and then you need the disc

i'll be trying it out over the summer.

Kimbo · 04-26-2010, 09:58 PM

I love my Wii but I need a new TV to play it on. Trying to play on my 20 y/o tv is just painful. I hope to remedy that by winter. I don't play Wii much in the summer but in the winter it can keep me occupied. I plan on using the netflix option next winter for movie fun.

SassyLeo · 04-26-2010, 10:14 PM

I don't have one but I have had fun at a few friends' house BOXING and BOWLING. SO fun!!!

Medusa · 04-27-2010, 06:09 AM

We made our Mii's last night - Mine is surprisingly lifelike but Jack wasn't impressed that it appeared that all of the female Wii's had to wear the dress.
Can that be changed?!!

Not that I'm aware of. I just used a boy. Mine is fairly accurate as well. Well except for the lack of hips. Oh well.

I stream Netflix on my Blu-Ray player. Sometimes the picture can look a little muddled, due to the fact that we have a bad connection sometimes with the broadband. I talked to our cable company about it, and they recommended upgrading our modem to a N router.

I love being able to stream Netflix, though. Best thing ever when you are sick or laid up with an injury.

I set up my Wii with the Netflix disc last weekend. It works great. Too well. I have watched an entire season of Lie To Me and Dollhouse. Needless to say, I love it.
