NETFLIX on wii

gqma0

Hi.

Does anyone have this working on their Wii ? Is it only limited to the US or can we avail of the service here ? Would there be any problems with blocked IP or credit card refusal ? I'm not sure about the copyright or imports rules so I'd like to know if this is available for us.

I've always wanted something like the Apple TV for renting movies/shows but the service is unavailable here

AFAIK Netflix is U.S. only. You would need a U.S. credit card, a U.S. I.P. address and one of the streaming discs which I assume are also regional encoded so you'd probably need a U.S. Wii as well.

There's no confirmation of netflix on Wii or 3DS yet, that's just saying they're expanding into our market.
It would make sense they put their apps on wii and 3ds, but companies can be stupid sometimes.
