I've got a PS3 which has a dedicated 400Gb internal drive for purely games, music and photo storage, it also has a 250Gb hard drive attached to it which is purely used to store movies and a third 320Gb hard drive which stores TV programs.
Obviously i use it for Blurays, DVDs and the aforementioned mass of videos. Because it's also wired to to two separate amplifiers (one optical for 5.0 surround and one analogue) it's used to listen to music and because i get rather bored of the Earth visualisation i like having a slide-show of images playing while the music is.
Also the BBC iPlayer and 4OD (which is beyond useless) and i have direct links to the Escapist videos that i like.
and occasionally i'm known to play games on it. Despite what people say, it's an incredibly useful media centre.

Watching DVDS and listening to Music. I would use my DVD player to watch DVDs but the remote is broken and its much easier to use the 360.
I play games and watch DVDs/Blu-ray. My brother occasionally uses it to watch stuff from our computer. But we have a bigger T.V. for DVDs, and we have a computer, so the PS3 is mainly Blu-rays and games.
Before it died I used my xbox to play ridiculous music while playing videogames, but that's about it. Never really saw the value of anything else on there.
Don't really get the whole hype about Blu-Ray being better than DVD, but my housemate who's obsessed with being on top of technology and getting everything as soon as it's out uses his PS3 to play BR disks all the time.
