> Reading this comment makes me realize that it's somewhat silly that we don't consider consoles in this competition. For instance, consider the capabilities of my PS3:
As good as it is, I wouldn't compare it to a PS3 for its media capabilities. The PS3 runs very loud when the room temperature gets above a certain threshold, has a very clunky interface and the smartphone support is mediocre at best.
My biggest complaint is the interface when it comes to using my PS3 as a media-centre. Having a dedicated remote doesn't even help with navigation as the amount of content increases.
- jhallenworld 11y agoI used PS3 for this until I got a Roku. The lack of a fan in the Roku is a huge advantage. Also the PS3 game controllers are annoying due to limited battery life. There are other controllers, but they don't work as well (for example, missing the PS button to force exit an application). BTW, it helps to take the PS3 completely apart and clean out all the dust. The fan then doesn't run as fast.
