    I'm looking into purchasing one of these boxes for streaming. Any recommendations or feedback from personal experience?

    I don't play video games. The purpose of getting one of these is to get rid of cable and stream TV and movies off the internet, NetFlix etc.

    I don't play games on the PS3. I use it to watch blu ray, to stream music from my computer, and now for Netflix. My kids use it for games when they come by for a visit though.

    Netflix doesn't stream TV, just old shows that are on DVD. When they do, a lot of people will drop cable and satellite probably.

    For example, I want to stream 20/20 from ABC.com from the computer to the TV. Or use Hulu, Hulu+

    Not sure... If you want current TV shows do not get Netflix, its only older shows and not all of them either. I use Netflix on my Xbox 360 though, but I wish Netflix did more.
