I know this has probably been discussed a 100o times, but I’m looking for opinions from a different angle. I want to buy an Xbox 360 or PS3 to go along with my DX10 PC. Games are a secondary concern, while important to me my main concern is media streaming.
I am going to move my PC to a proper desk upstairs and plan on having an xbox 360 or PS3 in my theatre room for streaming movies and playing HD-DVDs or BLU RAY. The multimedia function of the device is the most important to me with games a secondary consideration.
I’d like to be able to stream movies with surround sounds as well if that makes a difference. Right now I have mostly WMV files, MKV files, and TS files.
From what I could read so far it would seem the 360 handles these files better, but as a home theatre enthusiast I really like the BLU RAY and HDMI capabilities of the PS3. Also as far as games go it would seem there is less overlap between the PS3 and PC library then there is with the 360 and the PC.
And advice from people using either device in a similar fasion is appreciated.
Thank You
