Dear Matthew,

You no longer need the instant streaming disc to instantly watch with your Wii™ console.

To watch instantly via Wii without the disc:

Simply download the Netflix channel from the Wii Shop Channel on your Wii™ console and follow the on-screen instructions.

That's it. There's no need to send the disc back to Netflix.

Enjoy!

Interesting Music Preferences Chart

In short they've plotted artists in an XY grid based on listeners' gender and age. Apparently I fall mostly into the middle ground.  When I started picking it apart, I wondered how much the element of time impacts this chart (taking, for example, the prevalence of the "Glee Cast"), considering relative popularity in a short time VS the timeless nature of some of these artists (The Beatles).
