BDs and PS3 games mostly, but I bought GOW because people said it is best to play it before GOW2 and 3. Pics has been a big + (way more fun on the big screen then people huddled around a laptop screen) , no CDs or other music but I did get some BD concerts

Apart from needing to upgrade to Flash 9 player and not being able to permanently say yes to the damn plug-in question..it now works quite well for everything I do. Youtube, Gmail, etc.

If you were talking about the browser with the earlier firmware I'd definitely agree..but since they fixed up the controls, increased the performance I use it a lot more now.

Downloading themes, hi-res images directly to the HD instead of copying from a computer to usb/memory cards etc is also very convienent. Radio stations like musicovery.com work quite nicely as well.

Once I finally get my ultimate blutooth keyboard I'll be using the PS3 for responding on here. Find it more convenient to work from the couch on a big screen than sitting at a desk to browse. Don't find it anywhere close to terrible for my usage so it's not that strange to me.

Bought it for the Blu-ray movies when I bought a new 1080p TV.

1. Movie Player
2. Music Storage and player
3. Game player

I also use alot of the other features less often, with everything you can use the PS3 for, it's an incredible bargain.
