Which system has better multimedia functions? PS3, Xbox 360, or Wii(-snicker-)?

[QUOTE="musicalmac"][QUOTE="silverjiken"][QUOTE="musicalmac"][QUOTE="silverjiken"]

We all know its PS3.

but since lemmings own this forum of course they are going with 360

well to be fair, windows XP is also pretty lame and quite awful.

and BLU ray is looking like its proving itself at the moment and analysts predict it will be set to fully take control of the format war in 2009 with HD DVD being used as a transition item while Blu Ray is researched more

360 obviously has the best multimedia functions.

[QUOTE="musicalmac"][QUOTE="Spag1091"]

I can stream any movie/anime/tv-show I want from a number of different sites on my PS3, download demos, watch porn, play Blu-Ray discs, add/subtract people onto/from my friends list, play CDs, make my own mixes of songs, share photos, connect a bluetooth or usb keyboard and mouse for ease of multimedia use, etc.  All at no extra cost to me.

I think the fact that streaming movies/anime/tv-shows/porn exist on websites and you can access these using the PS3's browser pretty much sums up why it beats the competition.  IPTV can bow down to what already exists on the web.

i dont think we will see an Add on for blu ray on 360. 360 has been throwing out a few digs at sony later, if they had to introduce a blu ray add on, it would mean they'd have to give Sony Royalties which would be a pretty big and pretty huge slap in the face for them.

It's quite an easy question to ask.

OUT OF BOX - the PS3 wins.

PUT SOME EFFORT INTO IT - the 360 wins hands down.

Wii - you get what you pay for, which isn't much.

Does everyone just ignore my posts? do i need to add some fanboy ranting to be heard? lol lets try some caps

You CAN use a WEB BROWSER on the XBOX 360

The PS3 having it built in is a + and -

PS3:
+KB/M support to make surfing alot quicker and eaiser
+No Extra Support Needed
-If any 'hacks' are avilable and the machine gets infected... well ya pretty screwed
-Not a fully supported browser

360:
-MCEBrowser doesn't use KB/M support unless the Extender allows, again i dont *think* 360 lets you use the support keyboard
-Needs a Media Center PC
+Its all streamed meaning its actually surfing on the PC not the 360... so if your PC gets infected its at least easy enuf to re-install and of course there is 100's of applications designed for protection
+Uses a fully supported browser, IE (even if its not 100% standards compliant)

Did i miss anything?

Well at least someone read it lol, and yea the 360 certianly supports a keyboard... but i dont if that support is extended for use through media center while the 360 is in 'media center extender mode'. I might have to try it one day... i just dont like surfing on the console i like my little custom setup i have on my PC heh

I don't actually care. I play GAMES on my consoles. I have other devices for "multimedia" stuff.

What's wrong with the Wii's media functions? I'm not saying they're the best - but they're not bad.

 - Web browsing
- News and weather channels
- SD card compatible (custom music in certain games)
- Messaging serviceHeedleGlavin

Its certainly not bad, but i dont have a wireless network... (yea im using good old cables) so i havn't been able to hook up my Wii to the net sadly :( ..... no lan port makes me a sad panda

But i guess i should upgrade to wireless one day, just dont wanna spend the cash quite yet. Two PCs a 360 and a Wii with a new Wireless Access Point isn't going to be cheap

PS3 is released here in march... at least it has it built in i guess
