Yeah my PS3 is linked to my MAC, i can download divx movies straight to my 250gb HD i put in in 20 minutes for 50 quid, i can do this through the ps3's built in web browser that the xbox doesnt have, i have play tv which is free and i can puse rewind record live tv using my HD to store programs, i have a ps eye and a psp so when i was abroad on holiday i pointed my camera out the window towards my car then while in the hotel abroad i used their wireless internet to turn my ps3 on with 'remote play' which then allowed me to access everything on my ps3 through my psp which i connected with a lead to the tv in my hotel room, thus enabling me to have a live feed video stream of my car to make sure it was ok and not broken into or stolen. once i had done this i could activate play tv and watch all the british freeview channels through the hotel tv or watch a divx movie i had downloaded, or listen to my music or watch 'vid zone'. bbc iplayer is great to watch shows you've missed full screen on my 40" 1080P Bravia or i can watch Five Demand to catch up on that. I have a collection of Blu Rays (what happened to HD Ready dvds????) i dont pay anything to play online, the wireless controllers with ps3s have the battery built in and ways nothing but still offers 30 hours of gameplay with brilliant wireless connectivity thanks to built in blutooth, none of this big chunky batteries hanging off the back of already big chunky controllers and with headsets connecting with a cable to the controller. Cables??? what are they? is this 1999?? get with it fanboys, the PS3 owns and with ever increasingly good titles coming exclusively to ps3, microsoft will end up scraping xbox before long and bring up yet another poor console for you to buy, so the initial cost of my PS3 will work out to be a great deal as it will last twice as long as these are built to last. You can get an xbox elite (microsofts best effort to match the ps3) for £199 with 2 games. for £50 more you can get a new PS3 slim 120gb with a blu ray play and all the above advantages mentioned with one game. Minus the cost of annual subscription to xbox live and it works out at just £50 difference, you would have to be mental not to chose the PS3, end of. At least Sony could fit all the electrics into the console without having a breeze block in the power cable. sorry about the rant but honestly xbox is dump. I know i used to have one.
