Coming on the heels of Netflix announcing that PS3 consumers no longer need a disc to stream Netflix content, Netflix customers with a Wii console can begin streaming movies from the service without the Netflix disc starting this week.
Last week, Sony launched the disc-less service for PS3 console customers. PS3 customers, unlike Wii customers, will be able to view Netflix content in high-definition viewing with surround sound.
Eurogamer reports that Microsoft fixed a major Kinect implementation issue by allowing Kinect to recognize players who are seated. The method Microsoft used to create skeletal models in the software set the base node at the bottom of the spine. When people were seated with knees in front of their pelvis, Kinect got confused. Microsoft engineers modified the base node from the bottom of the spine to the back of the neck.
Previously, developers had to specifically code for lazy (sitting) gamers but this functionality is now built into the system. Unfortunately these changes will miss most of the peripheral’s launch line-up.

Some iconic things out of our pop culture past never seem to die off. Take Atari for example. The company and brand has changed hands so many times after its meteroic peak in the early 80s, but they’re still around and releasing games. And they’re keeping the classics alive as well.
Here is a nice collection of classic Atari 2600 console and Atari arcade games, including Asteroids, Pong, Centipede, Haunted House, and Adventure.
This set works on Nintendo DS, so it’ll introduce a brand new audience to these games, and we’re hoping that the name implies that there will be follow-on volumes in the near future!

I can’t believe the Geeks have never featured Mindflex Brainwave Game. I had to perform a couple of searches to make sure and sure enough, we haven’t.
Mindflex’s Brainwave Game is the closest game we have on Earth to demonstrating Jedi powers as the game is powered by your brainwave activity. Mindflex uses a variation of EEG technology to “read” the intensity of these brainwaves via sensors positioned on your forehead and ears. These sensors do not generate or interfere with brainwaves; they only read what is already there.
Once the Mindflex headset recognizes your brainwaves, it transmits a signal to a fan within the console. This fan controls ball levitation. Your brainwaves, in turn, control the power of the fan. The more effectively you concentrate, the stronger the fan blows and the higher the ball floats. Relaxing your mind relaxes the fan’s airflow, which lowers the ball.
I’ve played the Mindflex and while apparently I can concentrate at a high level causing the fan under the ball to shoot the ball skyward, I really had issues relaxing enough to lower the ball. We really had fun working the Mental Marathon game.
