You forgot to add media server.. streaming video from PC/Mac.

mzab24 · 12-15-2007, 11:20 PM

1st 4 choices for me.

victorvondoom88 · 12-15-2007, 11:23 PM

ps2,ps3, blu-ray, ps store, and online gaming and some misc. for me.

Main focus being blu-ray and ps3 games but I do use it for all that I mentioned.

MCWHAMMER · 12-16-2007, 12:05 AM

How is it so many people aren't using the Playstation store? I find it to be one of the best features of the PS3. I look forward to every Thursday (Mostly for the free stuff of course) because of the store update. I've purchased a lot of PSN games, as well as PS1/PSP games, because I love that you can play them on both all for 1 price.

For me, I do a lot on the PS3, it's turning into my media center for sure. I mostly watch Blu-ray/SDDVD's on it, play PS3/PSN games on it, fold@home whenever I'm not using the PS3, and Playstation store browsing and picture-viewing via SD cards. I'm their target demographic

eli1277 · 12-16-2007, 12:14 AM

i use mine for all of the above except folding@home (long story). Mainly movies and Final Fantasy XI though.

quetzalcoatl · 12-16-2007, 12:18 AM

Mine is never used for BD sicne I have a standalone that can bitstream all the advacned codecs why would I.

Durentis · 12-16-2007, 12:30 AM

I got the PS3 primarily for Blu-ray playback (and the fact that it's a better sd-dvd upconverter than my standalone.. heh).

(Ab)use the Playstation Store for the free trailers and demos.

Threw my CDs onto it as aac, but mp3 < aac < (FLAC, damnit!).

Not too into the gaming thing, but I play for a bit now and again. Lego Star Wars is the best home theater game ever.

bajor27 · 12-16-2007, 12:46 AM

I use it for everything except Photos and webbrowsing (which if I do use a console, I use my wii for) and Remote play (because I don't have nor do I want a PSP)

Blu-Byrd · 12-16-2007, 12:48 AM

Just use mine for games and a movie once in a while. I use my Sony BDP-S1 for watching movies. PS3 is kinda noisy when compared to a stand alone that doesn't make any noise

Ascended_Saiyan · 12-16-2007, 12:57 AM

I use the Just about every function of the PS3 except PS1 gaming and print server.

jorg · 12-16-2007, 12:58 AM
