A little over two weeks ago, Netflix announced that it had mailed out streaming discs to a number of Wii owners to enable streaming on their console. At the time, Netflix said it was in the final phase of getting ready for the launch to the Wii, and now the wait appears to be over for all Wii owners.
"Jessie Becker here from Marketing and we're thrilled to let you know that we are now shipping instant streaming discs for the Wii to ALL members who want one today!," Becker wrote in an official blog post.
Wii owners who haven't already reserved a disc but would like to can do so here. In addition to the disc, Wii owners also need to be subscribed to one of Netflix's unlimited plans starting at $8.99 a month.

on my 52in lcd it looks like crap, I'm going back to the Xbox 360. While it doesn't look perfect, it looks a whole lot better.

I have been trying out the PS3 version for the last week. So far it is pretty sweet! The only complaint I have is that most movies are not available in HD. The HD selection is strange. many new titles are not available in HD, but many old movies like ones with chuck norris and Sniper are available in HD. Strange.

Just got mine in the mail today, haven't had a chance to test out the performance yet. My wii is connected to fios via usb wifi, pretty anxious to see how performance is like.

that's good to hear. I would rather use my wii for this than my xbox 360. The 360 is just too loud.
