I use my PS3 for Blu-rays of course. I sometimes stram things from my 360 thanks to Netflix, mainly because that allows me to watch a movie while playing a game on my desktop. Other then that... not really. Watching movies/TV is generally it. Not much else you can do I think.

Surprisingly, I just use my ps3 and Wii for netflix, and my PC for games, though i will occasionally pull out a game and play it every once in a while.

Yeah! I regularly watch blu-rays, stream tv shows from my macbook and listen to music on my PS3. If I have enough free time, I can easily spend the whole day on it, one way or another.

I've not played a game on my PSP for a long time now. Although I do use it to listen to music, watch videos, and read manga.

Also, I considered buying a PS3 mostly to use it as a Blu-Ray player, and also to access the internet.

I use my PS3 for music, movies,internet and games. My Wii is just a Netflix machine, and the 360....well, that's pretty much only around for when Mass Effect 3 arrives and the few JRPG's that were exclusive to it earlier like Infinite Undiscovery and The Last Remnant.

My ps3 gets used more for blu-ray discs and netflix than games. I guess i should find something to do with my old blu-ray player that's just collecting dust now.

I use my Xbox to play DVDs from time to time, but that's purely because I'm too cheap to replace my broken DVD-RW in my PC. I think I also rented a movie once off Live.

Yep, use the PS3 for blu-ray, tv shows, iPlayer, games, internet, music.

Now use my old 360 as the worlds most expensive coaster
This, use my PS3 for DVD's, Blu Rays, bit of iplayer and 4OD and I have 5TB of hard drives sad underneath it... Oh yeah and I use it for gaming.

My 360... erm I might pick up Alan Wake at some point it looks like pretty good fun.

I've got a PS3 which has a dedicated 400Gb internal drive for purely games, music and photo storage, it also has a 250Gb hard drive attached to it which is purely used to store movies and a third 320Gb hard drive which stores TV programs.
Obviously i use it for Blurays, DVDs and the aforementioned mass of videos. Because it's also wired to to two separate amplifiers (one optical for 5.0 surround and one analogue) it's used to listen to music and because i get rather bored of the Earth visualisation i like having a slide-show of images playing while the music is.
Also the BBC iPlayer and 4OD (which is beyond useless) and i have direct links to the Escapist videos that i like.

and occasionally i'm known to play games on it. Despite what people say, it's an incredibly useful media centre.

Watching DVDS and listening to Music. I would use my DVD player to watch DVDs but the remote is broken and its much easier to use the 360.
