US streaming firm Netflix has announced at CES that it plans to roll out Super HD 1080p and (in the US only, for now) 3D streaming, which comes to its customers at no extra cost. Currently the only major participants announced in the US currently are Cablevision and Google Fiber. You can see if your ISP on the list by visiting the Super HD page. If your ISP isn’t there, then you can request it by making a call. Compatible devices include PlayStation 3, Wii U, Windows 8, Roku, Apple TVs as well as Blu-ray players and smart TVs with 1080p support.
Thanks, Allan
FIRST!!! netFlix, PLEASE add HD PORN!!
Don’t worry the netflix of porn will be coming to the wii u
Thats bad ass
Are you… KIDDING ME?! Now THIS is what I would like to see! I’ll look forward to Nextflix Super HD on the U and Nintendo TVii !!!!!!
The PC can handle HD Netflix anytime. It is only news for Nintrndo because the nerds will eat it up.
Super HD is new to PC as well idiot :)
I wasn’t talking to you, Billy the Whore. Your comment is irrelevant and invalid. Your PC couldn’t handle Netlix HD because, “Your Internet Provider is not configured for Super HD yet.” It will happen soon on not only PCs, but also video game consoles. Why the fuck are you at a Nintendo-themed blog in the first place?
so can my phone you clearly have a shit pc if my phone compares RETARD
My PC barely handles 720p (about 4 years old laptop). Not everyone has a powerful-, even a decent PC.
If you have 2gb ram and a 2.0ghz processor then 1080p is easy for you. It mostly comes down to internet speed. Slow internet means heavy buffering. Like me….(im downing soon because of some bills) I’m paying for 50mb/s so that’s about 6.2MB/s. I can have 2 people streaming 1080p at the same time without notice. A 3 min 1080p video is fully buffered before I reach the 15sec mark. PC is laptop is about 5 years old.
also consider your wireless router. It needs to be able to handle at least 4 computers and have the ability to stream 1080p movies over local WiFi. If you can’t do local WiFi streaming then you will have a hard time doing internet 1080p streaming.
I would love to see them get the new 3D service working on the 3ds. Weird to see my Wii U one up my xbox when it comes to apps though lol.
Lol, no 360 support. :p
Lol, no Wii support. :p
It’s 6 year old hardware, grow up and stop gloating.
Both are year old consoles correct, but the ps3 is getting support. And I think its safe to say that we all know that the Wii definitely would not be supported…because its not an HD console. However, the 360 is an HD console, so it should get support, like the ps3.

They call it Super HD… I’d hardly call 1080p “super.” Ruddy idiots. What will they call 4K? New Super HD?
Realistic Ultra 3D HD! It’s only logical.. :P
Ridiculously super HD
4k Goes by Ultra HD, its been going by that for a while.
I do find it odd that they call it Super HD but its still 1080p.
Is cause true hd sounds lame.
yeah, i guess your right.
a little confusing if you ask me though.
super makes more sense than full as 1080 p is not full hd as there is way higher resolutions so super sounds more honest than full if it aint the peak then how is it full load of marketing crap full implys PEAK witch is clear lying it will be compressed 1080p and it will look great jesus ed resolution nexflix looks amaxing at 1080p upscale
but i thought HD was anything High Definition like 720p and Full HD was 1080p.
you do make sense though, bu ti still find it confusing though.
1080p is “Full-HD”. When they said Super HD, I thought there was a new resolution format, probably like the double of 1080p.
Anyone know if Comcast is eligible?
Brings this to Europe please!!! I don’t like buying over priced blu rays , so this is awesome!
Just download your movies and/or TV Series. It’s a lot easier. Besides, you’re going to see them on TV eventually for free, it’s just speeding up the process (before anyone whinges about piracy)
Do you live in the UK? Just asking
Yes , in the greatest city on earth MANCHESTER!!!! (it’s a n OK city at best….)
Wonder if we get to see the Super Mario Brothers movie in 1080p………
Whats so super about it?
Lol at no Xbox support, a console supposedly more powerful than the Wii U. You mad M$ fanboys?
Maybe its a legal thing
Wait, someone thought the Xbox was more powerful than the Wii U, lol that’s a joke right?. Trine 2 directors cut cannot even run on the PS3, a machine the Wii U is by far more powerful than. I mean the Cell processor in the PS3 is a beast, ‘uncharted 3 is testimony enough.’ The Wii U’s stride has but already started.
I know it’s stupid. I’m talking about the Microsoft fanboys/trolls who always say the 360 is more powerful than the Wii U.
I as a Nintendo fan ways knew the PS3 is a beast for the last generation. Generation 8 that is. Only problem with Sony, is that they didn’t space out or market the PS3 properly. Imagine if they Had shown the last guardian at last years E3 and released it as a Christmas bundle; they probably would have money for a PS4 splash release. Oh! Well a Gamer can but dream.
Typos due to auto correct I shall not even bother hmmmm. ‘always knew’ generation 7.
Can’t wait for this. So far nothing but positive news for Nintendo today (Lords of Shadow 2 doesn’t count because I think that series is stupid).
That’s because mirror of fate is on the nintendo 3DS. Might show up in the future, but like you, always despised the Castlevania series, even in it’s glory days of long gone SNES.
Sweet
I really need an hd tv. My wii u resolution is crap on my old tv :(
you can get one now adays for like $150
you dont really need a big tv also
Grab an HD monitor. Or even the PlayStation 3D Display. You can get that for like $80 now.
Where? I want 1.
Whoa! $80 for that PS tv? Where, ive seen it for $180 and im still waiting for it to drop price before i pick up one, for $80 ill take a risk though.
It was that price at my Best Buy last year. Not sure if it is still that price or if it was a special.
i just checked best buy, :( its still $180, it probably was a sale, ill keep my eyes open though, cause you never know when another sale might pop up. thanks though.
:[ i don’t see it available for 360. . . i remember Aeolus stating that the Wii U was ninten’s shitty attempt at the 360. . . so why isn’t it up there along with ps3 and Wii U in receiving the super HD netflix?
