Photoshop, burn discs, movie making, CAD, music production (one of my favorites), screenshots and movies from games with high fidelity.

More to come later.

Also, PCs are expandable while consoles are not (unless you're willing to muck around with a soldering iron, in which case you can also argue that my garbage can is a PC too).

 


Consoles are expandable. How are they not? You can add an additional hard drive to the PS3, and you can even swap the hard drive right out of the 360.

Do you simply mean that the GPU/CPU/RAM arent replacable?

Do you feel that the Wii is not a console?

 


No, I mean that with a PC I can expect to get hardware for doing anything which is possible to do in the digital world. Show me how to decently use a printer or a scanner on a console. Console makers don't allow you to run software for doing anything you want on them, and they don't allow you to use much hardware. OK, you can switch hard drives, that doesn't make the PS3 an expandable computing platform.
