I got netflix and that's what I'm waiting for!! They recently got a deal with Starz Play so that added more recent/popular stuff to the library.

whenever a game comes out on both systems. the 360 version typically runs smoother. the PS3 version typically suffers from lower frame rate, screen tearing, bland textures. a super small minority of games actually look better on PS3 (richer colors, brighter). new releases these days run basically the same on both systems. you'd have to compare side-by-side to notice these minor differences. IGN and Gamespot likes to compare with multiplatform releases.

I have a buddy who works as a PS3 development tools programmer for Naughty Dog (owned by Sony), who tells me developers still need to learn alot to unlock the potential of the PS3. According to him most developers had a hard time learning to program well for the PS3. He says the PS2 was harder to program when it came out, but of course there was no Xbox then to make comparisons to.

i used to always play my 360 and my PS3 collected dust. when my 360 started having problems, I started buying PS3 versions of multiplatform games and now my 360 collects dust (except for Gears of War 2).

who said anything about new releases? i just said there's an ___-ton of movies that you can get on your 360. anything you can stream to your pc you can stream to another in-home device.

Well, after the download I was a bit disappointed. The streaming works great mind you, only a short wait to begin and no stops in the middle.

However, I was suprised that I had to go on my PC and load my que before it would even show up on XBox. I was hoping I could browse the instant watch library directly from the XBox. Having to fill the que via PC first seems unneccessary.

Also, Columbia has pulled their linup from Netflix Instant Watch because they are owned by Sony. They may be added back in later under a new agreement. Gotta hate corporate synergy.
