Although it'd be silly in my setup (my Nintendo Wii sits vertically next to my HTPC(s)), if you were one of the lucky folks to snag a Nintendo Wii here's an article about using Orb and the Wii Opera Browser to stream audio/video to make your Wii behave like a media center [1]. No word yet if there's a way to gesture angrily with the wiimote to fast forward through commercials :P

Other links of interest: Another Howto Guide for video on the Wii [3] also see SofaTube [4] for a different Wii Opera browser compatible/optimized way to browse youtube.

UPDATE: Stream itunes to your wii [5]
