Playstation3 or Xbox?

I think the whole Blu-Ray argument is pretty moot now with the new XBL update.

Why pay for Blu-Ray movies, or in-store rentals when you can just sign up for Netflix and have HD movies on demand?

Granted, I'm sure it'll take them time to build up the library, I heard something like 300 HD titles and over 12,000 regular titles in the library at launch.

The whole streaming video thing is great, but I don't see it replacing disks....

I think it eventually will.

Samsung has a BR player that can stream BR movies from what I've heard.

Netflix has the set-top box that streams. Blockbuster is also coming out with one.

It'll take some time, but in the end, it's just a more logical solution- why pay hundreds for a BR player, and $15-25/pop for BR movies, when you can stream for ~$15/month?

My wife and I were going back and forth trying to decide which system to go with, and the Netflix streaming has us sold on the xbox. Goin later to pick one up!
