Way too many updates, worse than Windows.
Did some rearranging of the kids media area over the weekend, fired up the PS3 to check it and of course it needed a system update then needed Netflix app updated. 20 minutes before the thing was useable.
I don't particularly like using gaming consoles for media devices. They always seem clunky. Much prefer a purpose built device.
You look at a Boxee?

Thanks! I'm trying to move away from satellite and the interface is the big thing now having been spoiled with an on screen channel guide.
having said that I find myself with 150+ channels and nothing to watch
so I think I am heading in the right direction . I have considered just pulling the plug altogether.
Only thing with Boxee and Roku is I would like to do some hands on before buying to see how intuitive the interface is.
Also read yesterday that Android based machines don't do Netflix so well?
So the Sony Blue ray machines are the same as the PS3 (Braviavission)? I was leaning that way, I presume I could go to the Sony store at the mall and check them out.
Building my own PC is an option (but the most expensive and time consuming option, neither of which I have in abundance).
I will have to revisit Boxee and Roku (and apple TV...) but remember I need the fiber optic output to get 5.1/7.1
