Ninetendo Wii test review on BBCiPlayer.

Ninetendo Wii test review on BBCiPlayer.

Ninetendo Wii is best known for multimedia which encourages owners to move off their posteriors, but knowing their rivals in multimedia boxes such as the Sony Play Station or the Microsoft X-box are continually upgrading we decided to try the Nintendo Wii's ability to view the possible internet TV and video possibilities.
The exact same wireless connection was used - ie; average speed for u.k. once again the wireless connection to the Wii was straightforward enough.
Using the search function in the Wii we started with the channel4 player - it does NOT play. Next we tried the ITV player - it also does NOT play. We then tried the demand five player and unlike the PS3 it does not play.
We then tried the BBCiPlayer and the Wii had no problems playing although unlike the PS3 it cannot upscale the picture - the Wii like the PS3 coped well with the BBCiPlayer without any line break or shake.
It is reported that the Wii's last update caused problems with the BBCiPlayer but we found no such problems.
Allowing for the time frame in connection, picture quality and hand controls the PS3 wins hands down.
Nintendo Wii is enhanced by the ability to view the BBCiPlayer.
Conclusion;
The BBCiPlayer added to both the PS3 and the Wii enhances both these multimedia entertainment systems but for our testing purposes we found that the PS3 is best to view the popular BBCiPlayer.
