I second that you should get one. It's a really good media streaming platform. That's pretty much what I'm going to do with mine, although I might actually use ethernet instead of wireless, partly because it's already onboard, and partly just so I can have a solid, wired connection.

You could actually do it yourself, too, and Kiddo's about old enough now that you could work on it with him, even. It's a simple little card and would be a good tool to start showing him basically what the different parts of a computer are and what they do.
