Not to turn this into a pissing content over 360 vs. PS3, but 360 has already proven that it is more than a Toy. The device has been out over a year, and the best "hack" anyone has done so far involved rewriting the firmware for the DVD drive. Security wise, the 360 has so far demonstrated an amazing resistance to attacks. The PS3 on the other hand, with its ability to run Linux practically OOB, demonstrates the weakness in having an open system like that. How long did it take for someone to start riping Blu-Ray movies on their PS3s creating ISO images? If you were a content provider other than Sony, and PS3 had a similar IPTV capability, which horse would you back?
The 360 has already proven its worth as an HD capable and secure device, in fact the only attack vector still available would be to capture the HD content over the component outputs. That said, I don't believe there is a CE device yet that can capture and record straight from component.
