Can I See What’s On Your Wii? – Netflix on Wii survey resurfaces with key difference

Leaks of a Netflix survey has been kicking up  the interwebs again. Last March, the same happened with a Netflix survey asking if you would like to have a Netflix streaming service that required a subscription, your Wii connected to the internet and a Netflix streaming disc that would cost you $10.

The key difference? The disc was labeled as free on the latest survey. Both Netflix and Nintendo declined to comment.

Brad’s Take: Could it actually be that Nintendo might outdo Sony in getting full streaming video on a proprietary service? Mind you, this would be an excellent addition for the Wii, but can the Wii handle full streaming video in any form with the very limited amount of space it has to cache video?

Anyone who’s tried loading a website on the Wii can attest to how slow it can be, so I don’t know if this is technically a good idea.
