i got premium, hoping it is a lot of fun. is their a system that offers the best picture quality or are they all the same?
Some people say the PS3 looks the best but I have used it many times on my PS3, Apple TV, and Roku. I don't really see any noticeable difference in picture quality between any of them. I use the Apple TV over the PS3 in my living room because it's low power, quiet, and I prefer the user interface. I use the Roku in my bedroom and I like that device too.
Basically, if you already have a streaming device just use what you have. If you are looking to buy something don't waste the extra money on a game console unless you want to play games on it too. You can get an Apple TV or Roku for $100 or less and it will give you the same or better streaming experience.
The only reason I ever used the PS3 last year is because it allowed you to overlay the synced up radio broadcast over the video. It's a cool feature but I don't find my team's TV announcers to be annoying enough to make me want to use it often. I mostly used it for ESPN or Fox games. Hopefully the audio overlay feature will be added to more devices this year.
