Which console, if one at all?

PS3... But unless you are actually gonna play games there are lots of very good Blu-Ray players for less money.
I haven't used the Internet streaming services but then my broadband speed was 0.2mb/s at the last test so it would take me a week...! :?

Glad it's not just me - we top out at 0.5mbps due to the distance we are from the exchange (or so I'm told). No cable in the street and no prospect of getting it. For this whole reason I've avoided buying any sort of streaming device. I'd love to but there's no point given my line speed.

Annoyingly my technophobe parents have Virgin cable and regularly get ~18-19mbps. Life's not fair sometimes...
