According to a new consumer survey sent to current users, Netflix may be expanding their service soon to add Wii support.

“Imagine that, as an added benefit to DVDs by mail, Netflix offers its members the ability to watch movies & TV episodes instantly on their TV via their Nintendo Wii, choosing from a library of over 12,000 choices,” starts the survey.

The service will be enabled through a “Netflix Instant Streaming Disc” and the disc would have to remain in the Wii whenever the service is in use.

Of course, the survey does not mean Netflix support on the Wii is an absolute, but it does mean that the company is at least investing time in the possibility. We can imagine that Netflix would love to gain even some of the Wii’s 22 million US users.

Solid Snake makes the leap from cell processor to the cellphone, channeling Lethal Enforcers on the way. Metal Gear Solid Touch is now available for the iPhone on the iTunes App Store.

Sega and High Voltage Software’s The Conduit is a first person shooter for the Nintendo Wii. The game will feature a deep story line, Wii control gameplay, and visuals using the Quantum 3 Game Engine.

The “Towel Trick” is a scam. Do not try to do it. It will overheat your Xbox and make it seem as though it works normally. But in the long run this “trick” is destroying your Xbox 360 motherboard. You will be sorry if you try this. There are other crazy fixes out there that claim to repair your Xbox permanently but be careful.

I knew I couldn’t rely on Microsoft and I knew I was not willing to pay a 3rd party to do it for me. After all if they could do it, i figured I was better of doing it myself and not wasting the money paying them for their time. So i gave it a try. I looked online for a repair guide and looked for one that gave me a money back guarantee if it did not work out.

I looked for a repair online. I will admit I was skeptical; I didnt want to get scammed. I found an Xbox Repair guide hesitated, but the guy on the site, seemed normal and he offered a refund no matter what so I figured what the hell. It was cheap and I could get my money back. I downloaded the guide he had. Luckily for me he had written guide as well as videos, so it was pretty much idiot proof. The directions were easy and he told me exactly what was wrong so I knew my objective and why I was doing what he asked.

Sure enough, an hour later, I was shocked. I wanted it to work, but when it actually did I was floored. I had to let out a huge laugh! The kid in the videos was right. The problem he said my Xbox and 97% of Xbox’s have was repairable and could be repaired by someone like me.

Metallica will be playing a surprise show at Stubb’s, Austin’s legendary venue, on Friday, March 20 at 10 p.m. as part of the “Guitar Hero: Metallica” showcase at Texas capital’s annual South By Southwest music festival.

Stadium headliner Metallica is going to play Stubb’s, a venue that holds only 2,100 for the Guitar Hero: Metallica release party. Metallica’s site says “There will be live music, a DJ, and of course the boys will be hangin’ out . . . and who knows what else might happen!”.

It will be a standard SXSW policy, with badges and wristbands getting priority. There will also be a line for those willing to pay cover, but admission will be based on space availability. But as Stubb’s is an outdoor venue fans will be able to hear the band all the way to Hyde Park.

Starting Wednesday, March 18, there will be a three day “Metallica Madness” Guitar Hero tournament at the Best Buy store in South Austin, TX during the South by Southwest Music Festival.High scorers on each of the three days (one drummer and one guitarist plus a couple of runners up to make the “elite eight”) will then move on to compete Friday night at a special Guitar Hero: Metallica release party at Stubb’s, also in Austin, TX.
