Q: And what else can the xbox or ps3 do that is awesome... I want to maximize what the consoles can do. The xbox connects to my laptop by wireless but does not connect to the internet like this. But my ps3 has built in wifi and can not connect to the internet or my laptop. "pls help."
A: Both consoles have the ability to stream media via internet connection. This works as long as the devices are on the same network (connected wireless or wired, doesn't matter). Many different files extensions can be used, such as .avi or .mp3 (you can get those off your laptop/computer). The PS3 has a web browser and you can easily access sites, such as youtube.
