The Xbox 360 does it, and so does the PS3. But the Nintendo Wii seemed stubbornly stuck in the past, with no Internet media-streaming capabilities at all. Now Nintendo's promising Netflix streaming, but you have to wait until spring for that, and you'll need a Netflix disc.
But why wait? If you're willing to drop a one-time $40 fee, you can get Netflix, Hulu and more streaming on your Wii, without a disc, today. It's all thanks to PlayOn.
The popular PC application for streaming digital content from your PC to PS3, Xbox 360 or Wii has just added one of the fastest growing platforms around!
“PlayOn has established itself as the easiest way to consume online video on your home television screen in an affordable way, and now we’re ready to bring that same level of access to consumers on the go,” said Jeff Lawrence, CEO of MediaMall Technologies. “With this new update for iPhone and iPod touch, we are happy to offer a significant amount of additional value for PlayOn Premium customers.”
Kinda sucks paying for Hulu, but paying for Netflix on my iPhone? I'm cool with that
This maybe a reason to upgrade to the iPhone 4 now. Bet this will look awesome on that new screen of theirs.
"$39.99 for the first year, after that $19.99"
FFFFUUUU
PS3 Media Server and UTorrent. Done.
MediaMall Technologies, Inc. today announced that select users of the PlayOn service now have access to the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa games live and post-game, available through the ESPN3 channel. PlayOn brings the World Cup action from the computer to your television screen, as it was meant to be seen. Internet service providers offering ESPN3 include Comcast, Cox, AT&T, Verizon and others.
PlayOn only requires the download of software to your PC and streams a full library of online video content to your TV via Wii, Xbox 360, PlayStation3 or other DLNA-compatible network device.
