Virgin has taken the first step today, as it's become the first UK brand to offer its services on the Wii. In opening the door to its music channels via the Opera web browser, it's presenting a new way for Wii owners to enjoy their console. Several different stations will be available, including Classic Rock, Xtreme and Groove, along with the ability for users to download tracks, along with full albums, and buy concert tickets. Also, the service will allow you to play music videos.
This is very exciting news, as it paves the way for other companies to team up with Nintendo and offer their services via the Wii console.

Now, if they actually got together with Nintendo and offered a dedicated 'Virgin Music' channel, rather than just adding opera-friendly webpage support, this could be absolute gold.
Still - awesome. It'll be interesting to see how iit turns out. I never really thought of using the Wii as a streaming audio device. Hmmm.

speaking of media streaming, maybe i am imagining hearing this, but has anyone else heard of some sort of prog. for the pc to stream media (a la xbox 360)? or at the very least some sort of "hack" to do this
