Disc-less Netflix streaming is now possible on all three major game consoles.
Nintendo Wii owners can download a free Netflix app from the Wii Shop Channel, starting today, that lets the rental company's subscribers stream television shows and movies without requiring them to insert a special disc into the game console.
This comes on the heels of Sony's announcement last week that a free app would be available today to let Netflix subscribers stream content on PlayStation 3 without inserting a disc. Microsoft's Xbox 360 has been offering disc-less Netflix streaming since the service's launch on the console in 2008.
To stream Netflix content on any device, consumers must sign up for a plan. Netflix plans start at $8.99 a month.
