Lovefilm Streaming Heading to Wii

While Australia still has nothing..

Yes! Finally!

I´m already a lovefilm customer, will try this out when it arrives.

I'm also a Lovefilm customer (well, my wife pays but I watch the films) so I'll be really pleased if this works as well as BBC iPlayer.

Didn't see "Wii" in the title and thought this had to do with the 3DS. xD

awesome news for eu players

If quality is on par with the iPlayer then this will be a no-brainer. Lovefilm probably figures if they sit around Netflix will eat their lunch when their relaunch happens.

Of course Apple could announce a revamped, cheaper Apple TV for streaming rentals in HD which might give me pause...

Sounds like a good idea to me.Just hope the quality's good.

i wonder if they would let people stream movies straght away if they have subs 2 them

oh cool. well stupid for netflix to ignore europe. millions flushed down the toilett,

lol, I was thinking Netflix was world wide, at least in NA and the UK. Melo's ignorance - 1, lol.

So what's the difference between this and Netflix then?

I have Lovefilm, and with a subscription you can watch loads of films and tv shows online for free. If you can use your normal subscription to watch the free stuff on the wii that would be faaaaaaaaantastic!

I can hardly stream the fuzzy videos on the Nintendo channel, let alone a standard definition film, so this does not interest me personally.

But if my tiny village ever gets a decent broadband connection (or I emigrate), I'd definitely give it a try - subscription and all.

Please don't discuss hacking here. Thanks - mod team

I'm actually an easycinemas.com customer and get my dvd rentals from there ..... but they're now owned by lovefilm wilst still keeping their prices and identity!

Brilliant news.

About time some form of streaming came to the Irish Wii consoles

The majority of films I've seen on the streaming site seem to be the worst films out there. Nice idea, but...
