Personally my Windows Media Centre and 360 do a great job now but there's still a way for MS to go also. If my PS3 can record TV like my 360 that's a good start, but I *need* to be able to watch stuff on my home network with the PS3 or it all becomes pointless. I'm looking foreword to Sony releasing HD stuff for download. That will help, or alteast get me to turn on my PS3 again :-) There’s a long way to go for Sony and this idea.

It should support everything XBMC does, and it should be able to stream video from PCs PS3 needs more codecs! It should support everything XBMC does, and it should be able to stream video from PCs

A digital convergence box that can't even attach to network storage? That can't download something while you do something else? That downgrades video signals to keep people from watching Blu-Ray in 720p? That has little to no content? That can't even correctly handle an iPod? Please. You’re high on crack.

Everything else was opinion, prob based on their own ramblings.

And it's too bad they didn't include USB port on the rear of the system which would've been nice for things like a TV tuner add-on.

A group of high school students I work with in the SF Bay Area recently produced a <a href="http://www.smashcast.org/2006/12/to_buy_or_not_t.html" rel="nofollow">podcast</a> exposing some widely unrecognized concerns about the console. My assumption is that the PS3 will have to be a little less costly (in terms of price and energy consumption) before it is really able to compete as a digital media convergence device.

Where the console developers try to lure comsumers in is extra features which both Sony and MS have done a good job. Here in the UK convergence would be rather different. If Sky made it's technology available through the PS3 I wonder how it would affect the industry.
