The Xbox is a good machine but dating quickly since the PS3 came out.

And you get a Bluray player which is the mutt's nutt's

bluray may be the mutts nuts, but does it really justify £20+ for a film?
will stick with me xbox and normal dvd's for a fiver

All 360s come with an ethernet port, none come with builtin wifi. but wifi is no good for streaming video.

Xbox now supports Divx.

Xbox streaming is a piece of cake using TVersity, it will just stream formats the 360 can play, and transcode formats it cannot.

Works just fine on my Xbox with the Xbox wireless adapter. Wi-fi speeds are faster then most broadband speeds so not sure why you think you can't stream video?

Oh Bless....
its that "dated" that the 360 is still selling nearly twice as many as the Ps3..

October 2008 sales figures..
Quoted from GamesUltra.com
As usual, Nintendo's two current hardware platforms took the top hardware slot -- and while most platforms stayed in roughly the same sales ballpark as last month, Wii sales jumped well over 100,000 units to 803,000 units.
Meanwhile, Microsoft missed its claimed two-to-one sales dominance over the PS3, but only by a slim 9,000 units, with the Xbox 360 at 371,000 and the PlayStation at 190,000 units sold.

This month's hardware sales chart is as follows:
Wii - 803,000
Nintendo DS - 491,000
Xbox 360 - 371,000
PSP - 193,000
PlayStation 3 - 190,000
PlayStation 2 - 136,000

Its still selling fairly well for a "dated" console

..

I'm Looking forward to ordering my New Xbox 720 complete with Gears of War 3 and Halo 4 in 2010..!!!

And after Sonys 12 to 14 months of pi$$ poor support and Major let down with any decent game titles being released for the PS3 i'll never buy another one of their consoles again..
The PS3's main (if not only) selling point is that it has Bluray, i cannot see why people need bluray when there is the likes of SKY+, Virgin Plus, BT vision and Freesat etc all in HD, no need to go and buy expensive bluray films..
