I don't yet have Netflix, and was going to ask if the streams were HD (so I could decide which of my various devices to use it with), but I decided to google it instead. I found these quotes from the VP of Corporate Communications of Netflix:

Quote:
...the HD experience at Netflix Instant Watching isn't that overwhelming. It's a little bit underwhelming. So the Wii folks aren't going to miss that much. ... the vast majority of content that is available for streaming through Netflix is not HD content. So, there is really no loss for the Wii consumer. ... PS3 and Xbox users have 1 in 17 titles available in HD, and it's streamed in 720... it's not in 1080, and it's not in 5.1 surround sound or anything.
So I guess I'm not going for it at all.
