My 12 year old PS3 is being used to-date as a media player when I can't find an old show through streaming apps. Every time I use it, I wish all my media was on it, and that I never have to use anything else. The XMB is lightning fast in comparison to modern console menus, and the video player is arguably the best in history. Photo viewing is great on it too, and music is not bad.

Conversely, when I use streaming apps, I find myself frustrated a good bit of the time due to a ton of minor and major greivances. When I stream, it's primarily through my reasonably spec'd PC and a keyboard w/ a touchpad on it (Logitech K4000), or through consoles/smart TV. Even for local media, VLC player, which I've used since 2006, sucks to be quite honest.

So, 12 years later, is there something better out there? If you haven't used the PS3's video player extensively, please don't weigh in.
