Game Console Owners Not Using Their Streaming Ability

consoleImage.jpg

It seems that owners of the latest generation of game console don't realized their full potential. According to a study done by The Diffusion Group only 30% of game owners are even aware that they have a device that can stream media while only 13% are actually using it to stream content.

This seems to point to the fact that true media streaming really hasn't hit the mainstream yet. So many people actually own media streaming devices and they aren't using them. Hopefully products like the AppleTV will help open peoples eyes to the wonderful world of streaming media.

Up until the last major 360 software update I was not using my 360 for anything other than games and watching hd-dvd.
With the last dashboard update Microsoft added the ability for the 360 to play media encoded in h.264! I have slowly been converting my dvd collection into h.264, and then streaming them to the 360 via "connect 360" an application for OS X. All I can say is "wow!" this seemingly small update to the 360 has made it very easy for me to access my entire dvd collection without having to get off the couch!

Yeah we have a bunch of people using the connect 360 application and they all love it. It really opens up the possibilities for your Xbox and allows a great streaming experience.
