Thats where I disconnect, what features? IE? I avoid that like a plague and only ever open it to cross check browser compatibility on my sites. If I really need to Google something (yeah Bing lost in the Bing v. Google test) while Im watching TV, I have a laptop, PC, Droid, and probably even a tablet soon. Blu-Ray, got one of those in the computer too. I just dont see ANY added benefit to the console.
Blu-ray is dead to me(mine just sits most of the time). I stream all of my movies and have them all in HDX(tru 1080p streaming) all stored and can be watched throughout the household or anywhere there's an internet connection. Even though I have cable service, it doesn't make sense to me when you have HULU plus, and just about every network has an app that shows their shows, sometimes at the exact start time on tv. But, all of this can be accomplished with AppleTV or App driven device. I enjoy having a stand alone video game system, especially with kinect and xbox live. I don't like to ware devices down, so I separate my computers from gaming.
