Have you seen this video that depicts an NES purportedly playing videos from Netflix? Having a high cool factor, unfortunately this has all been a hoax. Word from the developers of this interesting demo is that they actually used pre-converted video that was stored in animated tiles on a ROM that was then played back on an original NES. The original NES would no doubt have had a hard time decompressing the video format that Netflix streams to its clients in real-time! Still interesting that they were able to play back full motion video on an NES at all though.
