Last week, Sony announced Netflix subscribers could go disc-free with an update for their PlayStation 3 consoles starting today, October 18th. This morning, Nintendo announced Wii owners will no longer need an installation disc to stream Netflix on the video game console. Netflix subscribers can download and install the app directly from the Wii Shop Channel (new users can get access after paying the regular subscription price). 3 million gamers have registered for Netflix since it launched on the Wii back in April. Of course, the Xbox 360 has streamed Netflix movies and TV shows without a disc since 2008 -- better late to the party, Nintendo, than never.
