Ive been using something similar to that for around 6 month now on a device called a PS3.

What I'm suprised to learn is that the Wii actualy have LAN capabilities.

The Gamecube is a better media centre.

Whoa, Wii news!? I guess you had to dig pretty deep to find something that wasn't about Halo, eh?

With all due respect to Wii owners... do you really need to use a Wii as a Media Center.

The same could be asked of PS3 and Xbox360 owners. Everyone likes to get the most for their money =p

I understand that but chances are if you have a mac...then why not just use your mac or get an apple tv. Its like using a spoon when you should use a fork. Sure the spoon works but you get better performance out of a fork.

For the first 3 weeks in my new apartment, I ate everything with a spoon. We had 10 spoons and 1 fork and I never wanted to wash it. What's your point?

Because Apple TV costs more than an Xbox 360 and does less than a Wii.

Not interested, but I gotta admit I'm impressed by how crafty some folks are.

I have an HTPC which suits me fine.

Although having access to my iTunes library on my TV sounds good. Worth $20 bucks, though?
Hmm....

an HTPC should let you browse your itunes library on your tv ... using xp media center?

I don't use Windows Media Center, though. It kinda sucked, too, I thought.

If I had that kind of disposable income, I'd buy a Mac Mini and a Media Center program called Media Central, since it does damn near everything and supports lots of video codecs and such.

i was under the impression that with an HTPC, you could run windows on your tv with whatever codecs, itunes library, etc.; basically anything that'll run, runs.

I've been using an old Xbox as my media player for a few years now. I'm pretty sure it's better than anything this gen has to offer. Console makers aren't free to make a media center that most people would want. A console has to be thoroughly hacked before it can be a good media player.

If they really do add DivX/Xvid support to the 360 with the fall update it will get pretty darned close. :)

Cool app, but I usually plug my laptop to my HDTV and do all the media from there.

If you're a Mac owner, you should know that VLC streams media over networks, plays anything, and is free. It just doesn't have the processor intensive FrontRow-like GUI that's so prone to locking up on big files.

And as a side rant, every (absurdly expensive) mac should be able to play flac and xvid out of the box; owners shouldn't have to illegally "hack" a product just in order to get their money's worth.

I've tried Orb and TVersity with my Wii and I've given up trying to stream video -- it looks terrible, when you can get it to work. The Wii just can't handle it. Works great for music though.
