Yeah, even though this may seem like propaganda, I agree with Thomasvanommeren. Orb.com actually lets you stream video files (.avi, .wmv, probably others but I use those) and audio files (.wma, .mp3) and even picture files from your computer to your wii (or x-box or ps3) for free, and (on my faster connection) there's no significant loss of quality. Somehow, it trans-codes those files into flash format and streams them directly to your wii (if your computer and your wii are on the same connection), or to the website which your wii can access (if they aren't). It's awesome: no more making DVDs out of my computer's video files just to watch them on the TV!

@Andrew

Whilst it clearly isn't intended as a media center, it works very well at accessing Flash-based video online. And sales-wise it's trumped the others as a gaming device too.

"The Wii is no media center... really just a gaming machine." Yes, it's what it was designed to be, and it's not what you tested it as. Good for Nintendo.

I tried the wii browser with ABC live streaming and it would not work.
