I have been using my PS3 as a media machine for years. This is nothing new. I stream all kinds of content through my home PC, laptop, android based phone, straight through my router, etc., and have for a long time. PS3 offered that level of functionality plus blu-ray at a cheaper price than xbox for years.
This is not "this is where things are going", it is where the PS3 has been for around a decade. XBOX is playing catch up.
BTW, I hate both companies with the fire of a thousand suns and will not buy either new console. Just pointing out the current technical capabilities.
