For example, I have to watch The Office through the Hulu Plus app, I can't watch it by going to NBC.com like I could from a PC.
Can you do that with an XBOX (watch at NBC.com)?

Another problem with the PC (besides costing twice as much as a XBOX or PS3) we have bluetooth mouse/keyboards here at work, they seem to drop out a lot when you get over 5 or 6 feet away. Sitting on my couch I presume I would be 6 to 8 feet away from the PC.

Wife likes the kinect thing... but it is not a make or break for me (not sure how much we would really use it) like I said it is more of a TV/Internet box for me so it comes down to which is better at that.
