While Netflix is still sorting out their streaming on the Nintendo Wii, the word on the street is that Netflix will be rollin out streaming in 1080p later this year.

I believe it’s certain the Nintendo Wii won’t be getting this upgrade.

CNET got the news that Netflix will soon stream in 1080p with 5.1 audio. They don’t have much info on which devices will be supported on the upgrade, although I believe it’s safe to say that the Xbox 360 and PS3 will be supported.

CNET also doesn’t know how much Netflix content will be encoded in 1080p with the 5.1 audio, and are also not sure when the new content will be available, they left us with a substantially vague “later this year”.

I believe it’s safe to say that the Nintendo Wii and browser streams will not include this update. Netflix really only cares that people are being delivered some sort of content.
