look like it might be worth the 35 bucks. I wonder if you can play the music while playing a game then THAT would definatly be worth it.

 

That's pretty f'in sweet. If I didn't have a PS3, I'd hop on this.

 

if i didnt have a ps3 and xbox 360 id be on it too.....

 

not worth...lets remember the wii isnt capable of hi-res output, even with component.

 

Thus the low price. But I think most that care about hi-res wouldn't have the Wii as their main entertainment. This is for budgeted folks. They'll watch their bootleg movies on their TV rather than their monitor.

 

 

meh.

 

480 could hardly be called hi def true but usually the downloaded movies and vids on someones pc is not exactly high def.

 

While talking to my cousin on the phone the other day I discoverd he has this program and uses it to watch his EXTENSIVE bootleg movie collection on his tv. Before he used an external hard drive hooked to his ps3 but says this way is easier since he dosent have to move files and hard drives around. He didnt make it sound like it was the best thing since sliced bread but to quote my cousin. "It does what its supposed to do."

 

the xbox 360 and ps3 can stream files over the internet from your computer.

out of the box they can do it, and i think they upconvert them to HD resolution.

 

My PS3 + Tversity + Media server with 2 TB of movies/music/tv shows > My Wii + $35

 

 

theres also the free
