X-OOM Software Brings Media Streaming To The Wii

We have been reporting a lot lately about the Xbox and PS3's media streaming abilities, but we have basically left the Wii out in the cold in our reviews. Well it looks like the Wii just got some more loving in the media streaming department. X-OOM has software that will aid in getting your media content streamed via the Wii.

X-OOM's software supports streaming the following formats:

• Xvid
• DivX
• MPEG-2
• MPEG-4
• MP3
• OGG

Granted you have to buy this software, but for close to $60 it isn't that bad a deal. If you didn't already have a streaming solution and you owned a Wii then you could be saving yourself a bunch of money not having to buy a new device.

We aren't sure how it will work and how good the Wii will be as a streamer, but it is good to know that people are thinking of ways to utilize this cool little piece of technology to bring the digital connected home to more people. If anyone buys this and tried it out we would love to hear from you. Post in the comments your experience.
