Besides gaming, what else do you use consoles for?

I know E3 is right around the corner but I gotta say this vid pretty much sums up my initial reaction to the PS4 reveal and confirmed 720 rumors.

I use my PS3 for the PSN store and occasional Netflix streaming and that's it. For surfing or anything else internet related, I use my PC. If I want to see game vids or streams, my PC never steered me wrong.Zero interest in intergrating social networking with my gaming habits.

Besides gaming, I use my 360 and PS3 to heat up my house. My Wii makes a great dust collector.

Netflix and music.

Netflix, Blu ray player, and MP3 player. 

Don't have any interest in social features.  If I wanted to socialize I wouldn't have turned my PS3 on in the first place.

Nothing.

Just games. 

I was going to say 'nothing', but I'm using my WiiU to browse the net.  I think that it does a very good job at enabling this.  Now if only I could use it to play some worthwile games on, all would be well.

Netflix and blu-ray.

Netflix and Blu Ray.

I use my PS3 for watching movies. I also use the web browser for watching porn.

I've actually moved backwards... 

When the features first started coming out, I was happy they were there and figured there wasn't any harm in them. However, when I started seeing companies use venues like E3 to tout non-gaming features, they became like the drunk uncle that shows up at Thanksgiving, gets hammered, then talks a bunch of shlt before projectile vomiting and passing out. It got lame REAL FAST.

The honeymoon ended once I realized that there was a tradeoff -- money and time spent on apps, movie players, and music streamers became money not spent on games, and friends I am shonuff here to tell you that I would wipe my Irish ass with all of those things in favor of games. So I stopped using them. And you know, I don't miss them at all. I have an iPod and a computer in the same room for music. I have a tablet for streaming Netflix, and my television has the ability built in as well. And most of the other apps sucked balls anyway. I DO use the PS3 for movies, but that's because I haven't gotten around to (or needed) buying a standalone blu-ray player. 

So yeah, my game consoles are just kind of for games these days. Which is fine by me. 

Games first.

Netflix second.

Nothing else third.

I use my 360 for gaming only. My Wii, should I say my wife's Wii, is in the family room and that is used for gaming and Netflix.

This time of year I actually tend to use my PS3 more for the MLB.TV app than for videogames, since I'm out of market for the team I root for (Phillies...but damn is that offense hard to watch right now). It actually has more functionality through the PC, but my PC's not hooked up to a TV and I prefer to watch the games on a larger screen.

I'd probably use it for movies, too, but that'd require someone making a movie I wanted to watch, which is far too demanding a task apparently.

Netflix and Amazon Instant Video. Those are really the only two services I use. 

For PSN and Netflix

Just gaming and streaming  content from my computer or netflix. I never use any apps or anything like that. 

dust collector or doorstop

crunchy roll app. it used to be netflix as well but i got a standalone blu ray player so its just for gaming and crunchy roll

I just use it to play games and dowload demos.

I used to use my ps3 for games music and videos. and even occasionally surf the web, then I got a half way decent computer and only used the ps3 for games and videos. I got a VGA cord and hooked my pc up to my TV, now I only use my ps3 for games.

Netflix and YouTube.

I use Hulu+, a little bit of Netflix. Bluray, for sure. Watch some game vids occasionally. Also, we have a game night so I'll use my PS3 to play music (it's hooked up to the surround sound)) while we bust some spades or do board games.

Netflix on my 360.

Outside of that my consoles are used only  for gaming.

Video games, Netflix, and the occasional DVD/Bluray

Nothing, only games. Why the hell would you use a VIDEO GAME CONSOLE for anything else?YoshiYogurt

beacause... films why not if they can.

I dont play my ps3 much any more its just a dvd player...hehe

i only use my ps3 for netflix now. but when the wii first came out and for about 2 years after i used the web browser on that thing more then anything else.

Games mostly, but occasionally I may watch a movie on it.

Don't use them for anythning but gaming.

In the case of my Xbox 360, keeping my coffee warm while I'm playing and the piercing whine of its cooling fans helps to rid the room of pests.

Netflix and web browsing. The Wii U web browser is surprisingly good.

Other than gaming, our PS3 is used as a backup blu-ray player.  That's all.

99% of the time I use my consoles for video games. 1% of the time I might watch a dvd on my PS2.

It bothers me how most of the people on my friends list on Xbox Live and PSN are always on Netflix.

Do they even know their Xbox or Playstation can play games? A $300 Netflix machine is kinda pricey.
