well, the hum of the 360 kinda gets to me when I'm watching a movie.. and with the PC, I have to sit in a chair because my monitor is on a desk.. but with the PS3, I get internet browsing, blu ray, and tons of great exclusives only available from Sony!

The PS3 does a nice job upconverting DVD's so that is a plus.

Anything that uses an Anchor Bay or Reon chip to upscale >>>> all 3 of those options.

Of course if you're using a SDTV then using your PC would be the best :P

i can't dig these current gen consoles. after the graphical awe wears off, feels like the same ideas employed 10 years ago, but with less interest.

Uhhhhh. Ps3 or PC. Have the option to choose either with my PC, 360 and PS3 always hooked up to my TV (and PC audio channeled through the TVs audio as well as my speakers. The 360s DVD playback simply sucks though. PS3's is great, upscaling is nice, and the PC is good too, using VLC.

now that i have a ps3 player, i use it as my dvd/bluray/media center. Quieter than the 360 and all that. *Not that I ever used the 360 to play DVDs, but I did use it to stream stuff from my PC.

I watch DVDs on my PS3, I have put a DVD in my older 360 without HDMI and it didn't look that good but have heard the HDMI models upscale but I have not tried it yet.

they do. It's not worth it, though. The noise and the fear that your dvd drive or system will RRoD is too great to use it as a dvd player.

PC easily.

The PC I use is hooked up to a HDTV, being able to watch stuff from the HDD makes it convenient.

There nothing better than sitting on my comfortable chair laying back and watching dvds on my pc, but if given another choice I prefer it on my dvd player.

PC or PS3, since they are both great and my chair or sofa are also very comfortable, it's a tie for me.

Btw TC, bad argument you have there.

EDIT: As for 360 (though I don't have one) it's just as good as the PS3 and PC.

i think watching dvds is a similar experience for both 360 and ps3, as they both have dvd upscalers in them and are generally pretty competent at dvd playback, although a dedicated player might beat them both now. as for pc i don't know you can get various programs for dvd playback, so it depends what program you are using, although i'd pick 360 and ps3 if i didn't have my pc connected to my tv (which i don't.)
