Netflix for Wii: Mario Must be Happy

My family was one of the privileged few to receive an early copy of the Netflix for Wii disk. Once you pop the disk in (yes, it is required each time you want to watch video from your instant queue) just authorize the disk using the special code (you only do this once on another computer via the Netflix site) and you're on your way.

Other than the fact you couldn't do a free text search for movies, I found the experience to be slick and well thought out. You can browse your queue, sift through the various genres, or even pick up where you left off on your recently viewed items.

We watched Paul Blart: Mall Cop without any hiccups, and the audio and video quality were excellent even while using our wireless connection.

The product definitely did not feel like a beta release. Now maybe they can work on allowing that free text search.
