Fujisoft's Minna no Theater Wii (Everybody's Theater Wii), essentially a video rental service, will launch on January 27 in Japan, after slipping from its original December release date. We already knew that purchasing the video viewer cost 500 Wii Points, but now we have concrete prices for renting content:
- A single title for two days: 300 Wii Points
- Two titles for three days: 600 Wii Points
- Three titles for five days: 800 Wii Points
A further 50 pieces of content will be released every month following the launch, and Fujisoft claims its content comes "close" to delivering DVD quality. It's just a shame we'll probably never see this here to test that statement.

Well, there's always the homebrew way.
But getting your Wii Region Free to be able to install Japanese Channels is kinda risky though

I can't imagine how, with the way Nintendo's online payment system doesn't save any of your credit card info, this service will be very popular.

So true.

So, is it just streaming?
