    Quick question though, why not buy a PC and link it to the tv? The features you’re talking about are also on the PC and you’re not limited to their proprietary services and file formats.

      Not sure why people are beating up on @[email protected] for saying his opinion. Different people value different things.

      I think I can answer your question though. Buying a console is a plug and play experience. Building a PC is not. Not everyone has the time, the patience, or the technical experience required to purchase compatible components, assemble the machine, and install the various software.

      Anyone that’s ever bought a prepared meal has overpaid in comparison to acquiring the ingredients, prepping them, and cooking the dish. It’s worth the price to do so because I sure as hell don’t want to spend time making a bowl of French onion soup.
