Rumors has been flying around wether Netflix will come to the Ninentendo Wii is has been confirmed today in New York Times that Netflix Streaming Video servive is officially coming to the Wii. It’ll launch sometime in the Spring, and will be available to anyone with a Wii, an internet connection and a minimum $9 a month Netflix subscription. Like the PS3, Wii owners watching online movies will need to use a special streaming disc.
The Wii of course is not capable of outputting in high definition, meaning Netflix subscribers looking to use the streaming service on their Nintendo console will have their movies and TV show choices restricted to standard definition content.
The move means Netflix’s online service is now available on all three current generation consoles, making it the most unlikely of industry standards.

   Toshiba has just unveiled their ZX900 Series CELL TV, so named for its powerful CELL Engine which has 143 times the processing power available in current TV models. What exactly are they using all that power for? Well, with the Toshiba CELL you’ll be able to watching everything in 3D. That’s right, when true 3D content isn’t available CELL TV’s TriVector 2D to 3D Conversion takes any 2D content and converts it into 3D in real time — games, movies, sports, TV shows, whatever.
If that hasn’t sufficiently blown your mind, CELL TV is also a high-end Home Entertainment Server with a built-in 1TB HDD, BD Player, and 802.11n wireless. Content can be downloaded from the Internet, transferred from your PC, or recorded directly onto the HDD from the BD Player. Furthermore, the companion CELL Set-Top Box connects to the display without any wires. Net TV content will include Netflix, VUDU, CinemaNow, Pandora and more. And there’s video phone capability.
The CELL ZX900 Series is the first CELL TV Series, and will be available in large 55″ and 65″ screen sizes. This two piece system features a sleek Set-top Box, and a display in the new Genesis Design with a black brushed aluminum bezel with acrylic trim.
