I do have an XBOX 360 hooked up on my network and a PS3 as well and from time to time we do listen to music or view pictures on the TV but if I want the full functionality of a pc on my tv I would just get a pc and hook it up to the pc input on the back of my tv. I could probably get a pc for around what some of these devices cost and more than likely would be able to do more with it, even now with my xbox, ps3 and wii hooked up to my network I still cannot watch videos from sites like launch.com because the browsers on these systems won't support them. So if these new devices are anything like the current fare I think I'll stick to the good'ol pc since I a;ready have a network up and running why not use something I know will work.
