I have a 360. I was actually looking into getting a PS3 until my fiance moved in and now I have a BR player. I found out the PS3 uses like 3 times the power of a standalone player (because it's other features are all going while you're watching said BR). I can't remember the article if I can find it I will post up.

On a completely side note. 13 more days to BF3

I'd like to get a PS3 just to have one but I love the Media Center extender for the 360 too much to give it up. Got over 30 HD movies saved on my PC and a couple hundred full albums that I can stream to my surround at any time. One thing I would love is a youtube app built into the dashboard like the playstation.

As much as you talk shit about the PS3, Ive had mine since 2007 and its still going strong. Every single person Ive known with an XBox has had it die at least once. Some more than others. Honestly though, I dont use it that much anymore between 2 jobs and 10 hours of Chinese a day.

Same. Mine has run quite well through the duration. People (especially those that pay for service -- XBOX users) complain about it all the time even though they don't own one. How about, don't put your credit card number on PSN (use prepaid PSN cards) and enjoy FREE online service without 10x the amount of young kids online with a much more reliable system. XBOX is WAY more likely to crash and red ring than a PS3. Plus, if you've owned one from the get go you have no paid well over $100 to play online with 10 year old kids. Plus, XBOX doesn't play Blu ray, many of the earlier models don't have Wi'-fi, and again, they are super unreliable. Minus the one outage period in over half a decade I have had zero problems with my free service and more reliable system.

and that is precisely why i have a wii & game FPS's on a PC. no worries about sony's piss-poor security or vendetta against modders; no worries about microsoft's piss-poor quality control and rediculous charges for online play.

Guess I'll have to respond with my experience at some point. To give you a preview, I had the PS3 since it came out (60gig model) and up until a year ago used it exclusively until I was forced to convert due to a hardware malfunction on the ps3.

I'll never go back to it. More on that when I have time.

You can do the same thing with the PS3. I have two of them, one in my media room and one downstairs. One I stream everything to, and the one downstairs I stream music to play through my stereo system.

As an aside... I'll never understand how some of you can be bashing the PS3 if you've never even owned one. I mean really, were you mad you couldn't afford one when they first came out or something? As far as gaming systems go, I've been in the game since the Atari 2600. When the PS3 came out, it gave you a ton of value for the money, BD player (when a regular BD player was selling for about $300 or more anyway) gaming system with 1080P output, bluetooth, streaming media, web browser... It's a computer that allows you to play movies and PS3 games. So far, I'd say it's been the best gaming system to come out yet.
