A media extender... which needs a PC. Defeats the whole purpose of owning a console, doesn't it?
Sure, PCs are fine for lots of things. But I'm tired of paying through the nose for RAM, drives, antivirus software, downloads, patches, fixes... when I watch TV or consume any other media, I don't go through that crap. I press a button, channel appears. The same should be true for gaming, digital photos, music. Plug and play, keep it simple.
This isn't to bash PC gaming. I have fond memories of installing a graphics card so I could rampage through Half Life... ah, crossbow sweetness. Just can't afford the $1500 annual upgrade bill.
