I don't use all of it. I don't have a TV that can display at 1080p. Further, I don't have 7.1 surround sound. Lastly, I don't have any other OS's installed atm. Keep in mind that I plan on changing all of that extremely soon...still saving up for a nice Sony HDTV.

I was just flipping through the icons today and started thinking about it. As much as I use my PS3 i am really not tapping into it's full potential. I still use it off a cable modem instead of wifi, plan on changing that sometime real soon though. So far I have 11 full movies saved to my hardrive, 36 episodes of assorted tv shows, I have 8 games for PS3(4 of which are exclusive) I have like 20 demos, I rented a few movies off of PSN, downloaded an episode of Qore, use pictures i have saved as background, got 249 music files on it and much more...

Switching from the absolute reliability of ethernet cables to wifi just to use more of the PS3's capabilities is Madness. If you have wires already in place, go with them.
