Funny!!!!

We can already watch videos for free using Wii media center which allows you to watch videos through the Wii web browser for free.

So why would we purchase a video from your video download service and take up tons of memory which we are still limited on because you refuse to release a hard drive.

On top of that has anyone every tried to run a video off of a Sd card wow talk about bad quality.

Distribution =/= download.

It could a streaming service similar to Netflix or Hulu. If the Wii basically had Hulu and Netflix support built out of the box and you didn't need something like PlayOn eating up your PC while watching shows, this'd be a pretty major move.

I've got a 360 + PlayOn and its effectively eliminated my need to ever watch tv in the traditional sense ever again. I can get old shows via Netflix and Hulu keeps me up to date on anything recent. I don't have to wait like 3 months for a repeat episode, I can catch it a few days after it airs.
