I'm happy with my DS at the moment, but when the DVD format goes bye bye I might pick up a PS3 given the Blu-Ray drive.

Nomad said:Price is overwhelming yes, but in the end most likely you'll end up spending more money on a 360 than a PS3. Point is if you have a decent HDTV, the PS3 is the one to go. All pending on taste off course.

Nomad said:Able to connect my external HD to a PS3 and use it for all media purposes (and believe me I've got way too many videos in different formats that I would hate to convert them or even burn away money on blank discs).
You mean the windows media option on 360? I've tried it a couple of days ago and all I got was major lag (note that my laptop was literally in front of the console lol). I couldn't really pint point the problem, signal was at max, but took almost 13-15 mins. for it to react every button I pressed. I don't even know if it's a Vista thing or something I did wrong.Aazealh said:Well as far as the Xbox 360 goes, you can just connect it to your computer and access any HDDs you have there. No need for extra work. Not that the PS3 doesn't have some nice multimedia features, but viewing videos on the Xbox 360 isn't much of a hassle to me.

That I was able to do on PS3, somehow it showed the Vuze logo on my media menu. Wasn't aware 360 was able to do that though. Heh, learn new things everyday. Thanks Oburi.Oburi said:Not only the windows media thing but you can also stream what you have on torrent programs like Azureus Vuze, which is really easy and sooo convenient.

I do this as well, although it does have problems playing most mkvs that I've tried. When I get a PS3 though I'm gonna be wirelessly streaming some awesome HD stuff to it to watch.NightCrawler said:Who uses the 360 for media must be really deaf. I only use it to play games, and they have to be pretty loud when i'm playing. Man the 360 is noisy as hell. Not good for movies at all (i even prefered using my old dvd player), at least if you don't like being distracted. During a game it's less problematic.
For media i use the Wii with homebrew (softmoded, no changes to the Wii's hardware). It reminds me of the media capabilities of the original Xbox. It can play anything! Even mkv (not the ones with higher bitrate though). It's small and quiet. Plug in your external HDD or pen with your files and run some awesome homebrew apps, including media players.

Oburi said:Yea the 360 is a little noisy, but it never bothers me because my shit is always so loud that it drowns out the noise. Cmon nightcrawler crank that shit up, dont be a pussy. Whoever thinks the 360 is too loud and distracting isn't playing/watching/listening at the right volume. Turn them shits up!
NightCrawler said:Mine's from 2006. Didn't knew about the new ones being less noisy.
handsome rakshas said:Has anyone picked up Fat Princess from the Playstation store yet? I'm just looking for someone to tell me it sucks because I'm super tempted to buy it.
Oburi said:Stupid question - What is all this fat princess stuff? and as a follow up question why do I care about a game called fat princess?
Ko Ninja said:Very addicting indeed. Just got Turtles in Time Re-Shelled on XBL. I'd like if I could unlock the original game for Nostalgia reasons (and who wouldn't enjoy some sprites?). It's fun if you haven't played it before, albeit very short.
