In an increasingly wired society console companies are realizing that it’s not enough to offer great games. Microsoft scored a big victory by getting a partnership with Netflix, allowing subscribers to stream many of their favorite films and TV shows. There are several methods to stream shows but thus far the Xbox 360 is the only gaming platform that allows you to do so.

A recent Netflix survey suggests that all this may be about to change. It asks users what their thoughts would be regarding a similar option for the Wii. The survey also hints that such an option would be possible by a one-time purchase of a disc that would have to be put into the Wii any time an owner wanted to watch something. This would have the low price of $2.99 and would ultimately prove cheaper than the Xbox option since you wouldn’t have to pay the subscription fees for an Xbox Live gold membership.

Of course such a survey is far from a guarantee that the service will be made available and even if it is, there’s no telling when it’ll be available.
