Austin, TX | Can it play streamed content from PC?
Since this is WiFi enable, is there any chance of this to be
able to play streamed content from a PC, a la, iTV or similar devices? |

Wow.
If this is how the Nintendo fanboys rationlize their system over, say the PS3, then wow!
The Wii cannot be compared to the PS3 spec wise, library wize (even if all the old ass NES games, which most gamers still have, were included) hell it just cannot be compared too. Period. The Wii will not be able to run, say, Metal Gear Solid 4 or the next GTA. All games ported over to the Wii will have to be downgraded.
Hence the $250 price point. |

Re: Can it play streamed content from PC?
The games will look pretty much the same on up to 480p. The only reason the 360 and PS3 need such high-end technology in their system is because of the small chance that someone with an HDTV will come along. Rendering at 853x480 is a LOT less intensive than rendering at, say, 1280x720 or 1920x1080, and as such, can be done with a lot weaker of a processor with the same results (at 480p).
