My cousin got married last yesterday, and before hand he was asking me to take care of playing all the usual wedding montage videos, music and other usual things you play during a wedding. He wanted me to help him do it but I told him since WZ was around there was no way I can be free enough to handle that for him. Also there was some interesting AV equipment challenges of splitting the VGA input signal. Then it dawned on me, the PS3 he had uses a bluetooth controller which in an open area like a restaurant should have pretty decent range and also it is capable of playing videos and music. Therefore we ended up with this.

Because the outputs came out as standard composite plugs the AV guys were able to jury rig a connection to fit their equipment easily enough. The videos and music were played off a USB hard drive connected to the system. And his brother handled the controls from where he was sitting thanks to the wireless controller.

So while the GREATEST BEST CONNECTED ONLINE GAMING EXPERIENCE is what the Xbox 360 offers, the PS3 is great for everything else other than games.

While the videos and music of the hard disk played fine, when it came to playing a DVD movie of the morning proceedings, the video started to stutter and jerk causing the sound to appear broken up. The DJ at the station noticed the problem did a fantastic save and muted the audio while playing music from another source. That was a great save on the part of the DJ, hope my cousin gave him some extra tips.

So as long as you don't have video on a DVD-R, The PS3 can serve your media broadcast needs at a wedding. But if you wanna play games, the Xbox 360 is still the better choice!
