Earlier this month Samsung released a handful of new televisions that link up directly with Amazon, Blockbuster, or Netflix to beam on demand movies directly to the set, with no external set-top box required. What we do know for certain is that streaming films over the Web is the way the medium is trending, and fast.

In fact, if you suffer from anxiety, perhaps you should stop reading now, as this post will only become more speculative. To throw just one more variable at you, we’re not exactly sure when the Wii HD is going to launch either. But it’s still up in the air whether the service will launch later this year for existing Wii consoles (yes, please) or if the companies will hold out for the release of the next-gen Wii HD. Some thought it would never happen, others said it was inevitable, but the rumor mill is churning out reports this morning that Netflix, at long last, is working with Nintendo to stream its vast catalog of films to the Wii (an overdue move for a console that won’t play a DVD out of the box).
