Using Wii's storage for a media center.. not a good idea..
BUT the Wii has Wifi access! Shouldn't be too hard to make the Wii access your PC's hard disk through Wifi and play movies and music from there
Also.. a DVD/DivX player would be cool!
problem is, IIRC, the Wii lense is not made to constantly read data, just burst data
but, XBMC on the Xbox had a network browser, could stream music/videos from another computer. also, remember that the Wii ALSO has an SD slot, load a 1gb up with a movie, a few hundred MP3s and you're good to go. XBox only had 64megs of RAM(iirc), compared to the Wii's 512
the wii does not have 512mb RAM it has 512mb on the flash drive.
Ram-wise:
88 MB main memory (24 MB "internal" 1T-SRAM integrated into graphics package, 64 MB "external" GDDR3 SDRAM)[58]
3 MB embedded GPU texture memory and framebuffer.
Not much more than the xbox1, and the xbox1 can output @ 720p with a great upscaler, so XBMC > wii I'm afraid for divx etc
