X-OOM Media Centre: PC-to-Wii WiFi connectivity
The Wii owners may probably remember X-OOM‘s movie service pack for the Wii from last month. Needless to say, while it was an interesting idea to be able to transfer DVD movies into a Wii-playable MPEG format via X-OOM’s media conversion program, one limiting factor to the whole process was the console’s memory card.
We’re letting you know that bhv Software‘s announcing a new product for the Wii, labelled the X-OOM Media Centre. This new program will allow your Wii console to access the digital media that’s stored in your PC using the console’s WiFi connection.
Put another way, since you’re streaming your media directly from the target PC, you eliminate the need for disk or memory card transfers (you still need to convert to the listed compatible formats).
The new X-OOM’s interface is reportedly compatible with the Wiimote (for the console’s end), and will support MP3, WMA, OGG, DivX, XviD, MPEG 2, MPEG 4, WMV, JPG, and BMP formats. The X-OOM Media Centre is expected to launch this late October, at an expected price of £ 29.99 (US$ 60) via the official X-OOM site, and Amazon.com
