How many of you have your PCs hooked up to your HD TV? I know I do....

Thing is I'd still rather pop a movie on my pen drive and watch it on my PS3/360 rather than watch it off the PC!

Why?

Convenience! It's far more enjoyable to sit on the sofa and have a control next to you that plays, pauses, re-winds and so on at the click of a button rather than having to mess round with a mouse and keyboard, even if they're wireless.

Same goes for PS3 browser, so much better for catch-up TV and stuff than a PC browser when it comes to convenience of sitting back and watching some telly.

I use a wireless trackball and onscreen keyboard when im feeling too lazy to get the keyboard. Alternatively you can use the PC with a wireless controller which can also double as a gamepad. Alternativey again you can wait for Natal and use it as a multimedia centre.

Btw the actual playback of downloaded/stored movies is far superior on my HTPC than had I used the PS3.



Tease.
