Streaming your media just became easier

Home Entertainment

Using the simple interface your console offers, will enable you to stream all media at any time. Easily watch a slideshow of your recent holiday photos or display those home movies on the big TV screen instead of the computer. It doesn't stop there though, with the Bluetooth technology of the PS3 you can connect any device you like, browsing the Internet or watching YouTube suddenly becomes more accessible with a keyboard and mouse. You can even print documents if you choose to.

If you use Windows Media Centre your Xbox 360 will be able to replicate exactly what's on your computer, transferring everything from a small screen to a big one in the push of a button.

But wait, there's more, your PS3 can also replace your TiVo. You can now record your favourite TV shows and save them for later with Sony's PlayTV peripheral! If you recently missed a program on the ABC an update is available on your PS3 that enables you to access iView as well. This allows you to stream and watch any programs you may have missed, the following day.

This is only the start of your consoles potential. There is much more your Playstation 3, Xbox 360 and even Nintendo Wii are capable of and in future articles gizmo will cover them. So if you have a:

• Playstation 3 or Xbox 360
• Windows or Apple Mac computer
• Router with wireless or wired capabilities

Then you’re all good to go!

So kick your kids off “Call of Duty” and start using those consoles. After seeing how easy it is you might even want to play a game or two yourself.
