I do occasionally, and the quality seems decent, though I have an old, low-end LCD and probably wouldn't notice the difference between Netflix Wii and a DVD. As for the cost, I'm pretty sure you just ask for a disk and they send it... it's included with all of the unlimited instant watch plans (lowest is $9).

I have it through the 360, ps3, and wii. The quality are on all of them are very similar.

The slight edge would go to the PS3.

I have it on PS3, and love it. I watch alot of television shows that I would not normally watch. ie. Dexter, Lie to Me, etc.
I also heard that starting September 1st, Netflix is buying out more movie titles so their selection will be even more extensive.

I use it but, the selection sucks....20 yr old movies on the "new release" list.

I have 360 in living room and wii in bedroom. 360 is 10x better quality. If there was an HD hookup, that may explain why people say it is about the same and I need to get it.

i use in on my Wii and PS3. The quality of SD movies is identical between the two, DVD quality. the PS3 supports movies that are offered in HD (but not many are).

What resolution does NetFlix run on the Xbox and PS3? 720p? I believe the Wii is limited to 480p so I figured that there would be a significant difference.
