wii vs xbox vs roku for streaming

I've spent some time now working on each system to see which I like the most. So far, Xbox wins, hands down of the gaming systems, but Roku eats their lunch.

WiiMC tends to get skippy on playback of avi's. Luna's nabi tablet only reads MP4's. I'd rather not have to convert from avi to mp4 or back. Xbox handles mp4's and avi's with ease. It's really just that simple.

Also, my linksys router will allow me to put Xbox live on top priority for streaming.

I do like the Roku best of all, if you don't have a system. It's WAY less expensive than purchasing a gaming system that is only barely used for gaming. $300 vs $100

The new Roku 3 has a headphone jack in the remote. Win!!
