Wii Transfer 2.5 now includes movie streaming

Still interested in using the Nintendo Wii as a media center? Really? For the Mac lovers and Wii owners looking for another way to stream video to their television, Riverfold has released an updated version of Wii Transfer. In version 2.5, the developers have added drag-and-drop video streaming, background music for slideshows and the ability to use Firefox / Safari bookmarks via the Wii browser.

The program also lets you share pictures, music (as MP3 or unprotected AAC) and iTunes playlists. Sister site TUAW conducted an interview with creator Manton Reese. Wii Transfer 2.5.1 (Mac only) is now available for trial and $19 for license.

Xbox 360 already has home networking.

yes we know that, what sucks for me is that is has to be wmv when i use avi at home and if i'm playing a game in my room my son cant then stream to the living room


but its even better news for me cause now in one room now i can play a game or watch a movie with the 360 and in the other room watch a movie or play a game on the wii




but for the sake of arguments about who has what, the wii also comes with wireless network built in for free
