That and my wife is very low tech and I want her to be able to interact with the thing (without giving me a call).

Seriously then look at a Boxee.
Much cheaper than a gaming console and all you lose is the gaming aspect.
I picked up a Sony Blu Ray for $80 at Costco last month, has Hulu, Netflix, Pandora etc... built in. Have to check if it has a built in browser, not sure on that.
If you go gaming rig then do the Xbox. The PS3 will drive you up a wall, every time my kid turns it on there is a new system update and it's minimum 30 minutes before he can even begin to play.
Sure you can set it to autoupdate in the middle of the night but I like to be able to decline an update if I choose. Like when they killed the ability to have Linux installed as an alternate OS.
