We had a laptop hooked up to a Panasonic 53" widescreen TV. After we uh, "obtained" movies we move them over wireless to the TV-connected laptop. Unfortunately, laptops don't typically come with remotes (especially 650mhz Dells like the one we had). But with the Gyration: problem solved. With the keyboard, it also works great for surfing the web on a large television. Sit back on your couch and read the web on a giant screen.
The mouse IS a bit awkward to use; I know some people that couldn't ever get the hang of it, and I definitely have no clue how it could be beneficial in gaming. They're only sort of accurate at best, and getting that headshot would be pretty much a crapshoot with one of these guys.
Everyone should be using BSPlayer, which comes with the K-Lite Codec Pack, for all their non streaming media needs. It plays EVERYTHING (I download, capture, edit a couple hours of video a week and I've never encountered a file it didn't play perfectly).
