Please use this thread to discuss why you think the PS3 is better than the rest. Also, read this announcement before posting.

Free online, most open console without hacking, minimalistic UI, best media functionality, best 1st party studios.

Forgot to add most future proof hardware, there will be a time when 3D is just an addition to every HDTV, and not a premium feature.

Media streaming services are pretty great on PS3. No sign ups required, unlike the Zune Marketplace on the Xbox. Though a Sky Player would be more than welcome.

Oh I see we have a hater. Sound the alarm...
I see no point in these threads..........


Im a Xbox 360 personally but I find the PS3 power to be amazing and the free online is a great plus.

But again, without things like my previous post, this thread (and the rest) is pretty ****ty.

I agree somewhat, but hey, it's better than having flame wars.

What media streaming service is available on the PS3 in the US with no sign up?

Not 100% sure, but he may mean you don't need PSN+ or XBL Gold equivalent for Netflix. Not sure what that has to do with Zune Marketplace, tho, I know nothing about that, but thought it was like an iTunes.
