oppinion about ps3

[jokers10]

Do ya'll think the ps3 will be a good stand in for an entertainment PC, or will Sony's stand on DRM ruin the experience?

It will play games well, but I can't see how it can touch the Xbox 360 for home entertainment integration, unless sony brings out their own media server for it to run off.

Personally, i think the way M$ left out the HD drive from the Xbox was a good idea, I only need one HD drive in the house and do not want to pay for the extra drives in the other 4 Xbox's. I'll just rip the movies to HD WMV for distribution (no legal arguments please)

I'll admit that the XBOX 360 is superior in terms of home entertainment. You can use it to access a server with DVD .iso's ripped to it. I mean you can have basically a limitless pull of movies.

Just think

Use a Chenbro based AMD server case with 16 swap drive bays and 500GB Drives in each = 8TB. Add a Norco chassis that has a 12 drive SATA II array for $850 throw in some more 500GB drives and you have 14TB, 8TB for HD-DVD, 5TB for DVDs and 1TB for Music....you can rip the Kaliedascope system a new one for like $12,000.

Hmm, or you could get up and just put a disc in your disc player for free?

And the new Xbox 360 firmware due out next month will upscale to 1080p over a VGA connection.

Woah I definitely didn't know the Xbox 360 pulled ahead of the PS3 in the Home Entertainment arena...do you guys mind elaborating?
