PS3 for the bluray, and honestly I like the slick interface/design, the 360 reminds me of a kids toy/wii

PS3 is the obvious choice, Blu Ray, Netflix, DVD, Web Browser, upload music pictures, chat message friends ... why is this even being asked?

agreed, on features alone (not price or games) the PS3 romps home. The Wii wouldn't even be viable.

to prove a point i suppose. :P

The ps3 obviously has the best feature set.

The wii, wouldn't even be an option if we went by this.

PS3 - nice not to need a separate Blu-ray player, and if Hulu plus becomes more compelling, it'll be my cable box as well.

It's 2011, questions like this are redundant and should be locked on the spot.

As a home entertainment system, definitely the PS3, but I still find myself using the 360 slightly more because of party chat and it's other social features.

for just features I suppose the PS3 is the answer mainly because of blu-ray. Though I play my 360 a lot more, so features outside of gaming don't really mean much in the long run.

I guess it depends on your tastes. It would be close between the PS3 and Wii for me but Id probably go for the Wii.

Motion control, virtual console and full backwards compatibility. I find it better in the core gaming area opposed to media department PS3 excels in.

ps3wizard45

I could care less about the browser. That's why I have a PC. I do like the Blu-Ray player in the PS3, but it's just a luxury. I still have way more DVD's and I can play my DVD's on the XBox. 360. I like the XBox Live better then PSN and all the features associated with it. I like the GameRoom, ESPN and all the XBLA games. Even the Indie games are pretty cool. All my friends and close relatives own an XBox 360. Only a few of them have a PS3. For me the only thing the PS3 has over the 360 is Blu-Ray and free online gaming. So, I'd take the XBox 360 in this case. Blu-Ray isn't enough to sway me to the other side.

Besides Blu-Ray, everything you mentioned can be done on the XBox 360 as well. Plus ESPN & GameRoom.

Probably PS3 or Wii. The only reason I have my Xbox 360 is because I got a great deal on it. If it weren't for the singleplayer games, I'd sell it. Seriously, Wii and PS3 have free online. While I know that Xbox 360 has the Xbox live silver, why do they make you pay for gold? If someone wants to play multiplayer for a game they just paid 60 bucks for, they shouldn't also have to pay for the multiplayer component. This is the same reason I don't play games like WoW.

I'd say PS3, blu-ray is a pretty good deal breaker (If you have an hdtv) although, that's all i ever use my PS3 for, as a blu-ray player and to upscale DVDs. I still use my 360 a lot more to play online and interact with other gamers.

The Blu-Ray is nice, but I'll take the PS3 based on the excellent DVD upscaling alone.

It's an absolute no brainer. PS3... why would anybody choose anything else. It's a fact that the PS3 has more robust features, not opinion. That's why it was so damn expensive.

Why exactly would I be picking a gaming console for anything other than games?
