But it is always good to have options, and this new one by <a href="http://yazsoft.com/products/playback/information/" target="_blank">Yazsoft</a> is $5.00 US cheaper than the Nullriver program. This program by Yazsoft also works with the Playstation 3. The other advantage I noticed with Yazsoft's Playback 1.0 is that it also works with Aperture, where the Connect 360 only works with iPhoto. I may give this a try since Yazsoft offers 7 day free trial just to see which one I like better, but I've been pretty happy with Connect 360 so I may not tempt fate. If I had a Playstation 3 I certainly would consider it. </p>
