Personally I don't know what to make of it. Your thoughts? They are not licensed by Nintendo, but is there a possibility that a portion of the sign up fee pays licensing fees to someone? Or is this all just a bunch of hooey? :dunno

I'd be cautious. One of the testimonials says they downloaded the first season of hero to the wii.....I know my wii doesn't have that much storage space....also read the fine print:

Kane, I saw that too and wondered about it. It sounds like just another P2P site to me. Just wanted to throw this out as a "caution" type message, because if you hit just the right blogs, it makes it sound as if it's the next great thing.

Sounds like they're just packaging a set of tools to watch videos and play flash games in the Opera browser. I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't just steal some open source package. They're not really offering content, just tools.
Don't pay for this when you can get it for free legally.

I was browsing around at Frys and they were selling a software kit that did pretty much the same thing as this website. For ~$50 or thereabouts you get a video converter that lets you rip DVD's to a 2GB SD card and play them back on your Wii. Thing is you can do the same for free (http://www.redkawa.com/videoconverters/wiivideo9/).
And why are they not mentioning what's in their library? If I was remotely interested, I'd like to see what their library looks like.

They have no library. Check Kane's quote. They're just leading us on.

Savannah, good point. I've been using Red's program ever since it appeared. Works great. I've transferred one or two shows, just to see what they look like and with each release it just gets better.\
(edit / addition): I was just thinking if this group actually HAD a library (which they obviously don't), it might save a little time.
