| I think the point is to bring something native to the Wii instead of relying on the PC as a middle man. I haven't used PlayOn as I didn't realize they had a Wii beta currently. But I have tried a variety of add ons for VMC that tried to integrate/hack Netflix (prior to them releasing the official plug in) or Hulu support and they worked...just not great. |

Playon is just not reliable and the quality is not as good. Relying on a PC to stream is hokey. It's great news that Netflix will have native players for all consoles.
I do hope that the PS3 player will support Netflix HD streams as Roku does. Not many players do. |

Great for old series not on TV or VOD offerings. Works well so far. Tired of waiting for Nintendo to deliver a Flash version that works with Hulu. |

A source close to Hulu, however, tells EW that the site remains steadfastly committed to free content, explaining that any possible subscription or pay-per-view service has no set timeline and would only build upon what Hulu offers, not replace it.

Also... if you haven't sold them already let me know, I'm very interested.
