I am wondering how the PS3 fairs when streaming Netflix movies and plan on keeping it on all the time just for this purpose. I will have the PS3 in my room, I plan to use it as a Roku replacement since mine recently broke and I am weary of purchasing another since it broke 2 months after the warranty expired. I don't really plan to play games(maybe a few) on it, mostly only blu-ray(2nd reason for planned purchase) and Netflix. So I guess what my question is this a good idea or does it use to much power and too noisy(roku was 100% silent). Also I read that standby is 1W or less, will it go into this automatically or will I have to manually go and click a button? Any opinions on doing this would be very helpful on the matter, I will probably buy it in the next couple of days.
Thanks
PS: I did look at blu-ray players, but they were just too close in price if they had netflix streaming(within $100 or so), and I question there commitment in keeping their players up to date. Of course if someone has one of those players I would be open to changing my mind.
