Which is the best multimedia machine? PS3 or Xbox360 (Revisted)

I've heard a lot about both of them, but I'm trying to determine which is the best overall for MULTIMEDIA purposes.

What are the advantages and disadvantages between the two?
I have a PSP, and I know that you supposedly can do a lot with the PSP and PS3.

I made this thread months ago, and now I'm bringing it back up due to the recent updates for the PS3. Now this debate is different than it was in December.  Since then Microsoft released the Elite 360 with HDMI, and more room on the HDD. The PS3 now being able to stream from PCs and DVRs (Which Xboy's said wasn't possible on PS3 months ago) and with the rumours about update 2.0 I think it's pretty easy to see which one is the winner in this category. Is there anybody that still thinks that the 360 is better today?

Discuss...

PS: I have both consoles.

PC. Why do you need a game console to do everything outside of cooking your breakfast, when you're (most likely) typing on something that already can?Tsug_Ze_Wind

Still, it seems unnecessary. If a game console can do that, that's cool, but multimedia features shouldn't be high on your list of requirements when buying a console to play games.

The PS3 has major competition, and yet Sony seems to be focusing on the "multimedia machine" and not the "game console." The PSP is a multimedia machine. Didn't seem to help it that much, and that's because when it comes to multimedia, you have iPods and laptops and other things that people associate with "multimedia." The Playstation will be known as a "game console," and looking at it that way, it's damn expensive for what little there is.

I would give the edge to 360 atm, with that more than likely changing to the ps3 in the future. 360 currently can stream any videos and songs from a pc, view pics from your pc, download both hd and sd movies and tv shows and you can grab the hd-dvd drive if your so inclined. However, once ps3 gets up and going it should have better features...larger library of movies/shows and throw in music. I'm sure the streaming is possible as well. Until ps3 has been out for a while and can really get up and running I feel 360 has the edge.

Also left out a few things...with vista will come live anywhere which will add a whole different layer into the xbox live experience.  It will then "play nice" with all kinds of mobile devices (phones and zune for example) and with your pc even more so than it currently does.

However, that being said I still stand by my orginal statement that ps3 will win out in multimedia features in the long run

Taking aside your point about PSP (however valid that may be) it's not really a question of what it'll be known for, rather what it will be sold as (a quick look at the latest Beyon3D trailer should give you a hint as to what that is). It's all well and good saying "what little there is" but at this early a stage I don't think any educated observer would expect more from the leading games manufacturer. As a purest you may like to under sell the multimedia capabilities of the system but these capabilities will distinguish it from the competition. There' no question of Sony's credentials at delivering strong gaming content, so overtime it'll be the hardware in combination with the appropriate software that will take the system beyond the status of a gaming console and to that of a multimedia hub. It may seem like a pipe dream but it is one much more exciting than the standard gaming device.Rashpal

Playstation will always be known as a game console. No matter what they add to it and market it as, people will still be buying it as a game console, and they'll most likely be disappointed with the PS3 not being superior in any way related to games. A lesser library, an inferior online service, and graphics that are merely equal with the $400 360, instead of the 4D with the Cell and all that, that they were promised. I, and many others certainly expected more. How can it go beyond the status of a game console when it's struggling at being a game console alone?

I guarantee that the average joe won't use have of the stuff on either console, so this crap might matter to you guys, but not really to the casuals.BadAndy642
