You got that right. Here, I made pie charts:

As a "media streamer" for You Tube, Hulu, etc. using Twonky or Play-On the game console is excellent at that, but at the moment it cannot match LIVE HDTV transmitted by a broadcaster.

So, until it can, when I'm not playing the occasional game on them I will use my PS3 and XBMC (softmodded XBOX) to stream web content, video netcasts and ISOs of DVDs.

I'd love to replace my cable or DirecTV set-top box with a game console that could do it all or that could do it all with some add-on peripherals (e.g. USB HDTV tuner), but because of DRM issues and the state of patents and IP law today I don't see that happening any time soon.

dagamer34 hit the nail on the head.

Not just 'No', but "Hell No".

I am quite happy to wait for Amazon to deliver it to my door and not waste my time scouring stores in the hope to get it a day or two early.

Do people really have this much time to waste shopping for one movie?

Another piece of "research" to point out the patently obvious...
