What is your PS3?

As this console generation begins to wind down, it seems like a lot of people have stopped picking up as many new titles as they used to and are instead riding out the storm until the new hardware hits. So, now that we've reached this stage in the cycle, what has your PS3 become? Is it still your primary gaming machine? A Netflix box? A space heater?

I'd say that since getting married, and especially since our daughter was born, my PS3 has become more of a multimedia device; the only new games I've gotten in the past two years are all half-finished. It was a Hulu Plus box for a while, but now it's primarily a My Neighbor Totoro player that I use to store retired/patiently waiting Vita games.
 
Seems like I'm playing PS1 PSN games on it more than anything else recently.

And yeah I have a Vita even.
 
My one and only game device. I don't have enough time to play many games these days and PS3 already overwhelmed me this month with:

Ni no Kuni
Dead Space 3
Tomb Raider
Sleeping Dogs
God of War: Ascension

I've only completed Tomb Raider so I'm completely fucked since Bioshock is coming soon. And I just bought "I am alive" on PSN recently. OTOH, it's nice to have many games ready to play.
 
Still my primary gaming machine, though I share time with my 3ds/wii u and xbox/pc as well. Do a bit of gaming on iOS as well (very little). I play everything really, just play my ps3 more then any of the others.
 
It has become my online rental box with PS+, playing all the games I would've otherwise rented if there were any rental services here.
 
Tied with the Vita as my primary means of gaming. Which is weird, because I didn't pick one up until about a year ago. I blame it on the 1TB HDD. I like to just boot up my PS3 and browse what I have on it before settling on something to play. I only have a 180 gig on my 360, and it's completely full at this point. Also, most of my 360 friends have moved on to PC gaming. Quite a few have let their Gold lapse.

Also my primary media player. Netflix, Amazon, and blu rays. I don't watch cable anymore.

Netflix/stream all of my videos media box.
 
Pretty much used for cheap coop games only at this point. Had a pretty damn good time with RE6 recently.

Other than that, really loud deluxe sized dust gatherer.
 
I ended up not renewing XBLG so my PS3 is my new online games machine. I also use my PS3 for streaming YouTube/Crunchyroll and watching blu rays. I ended up buying a ton of games off PSN too.

My PS3 basically replaced my Xbox 360 in terms of gaming. Only reason I don't get rid of it is because of MineCraft, Rare games, Alan Wake and the Mistwalker games released on it.
 
PS3 is pretty much always in use when I turn on the television. Netflix, playing video files, DVD/Bluray, and console exclusives.

It's a phat that was bundled with MGS4 and it can get looouud.
 
I sent my Xbox back home, and use my PS3 as my main console. I play mostly handheld games, but whenever I have time to really sit down and play a game, my PS3 is where it's at. I just beat Unfinished Swan on it (great game imo), and I am looking to play Spec Ops (free with plus) on it next.

I also use it for blurays, and as my primary JP DVD player. I also rent movies on it whenever I can afford a PSN card.
 
My main gaming device. I still have my Xbox, and even have Gold because a friend added me to the Gold family pack because it's going to disappear. It's been a while since I last played anything on Steam (was on a rush of Sleeping Dogs though :C ).

I play it for a considerable amount of time every day. With PS+ and the games I've got. I wouldn't mind getting a PS4 until the fall of 2014 or so.
 
Unfortunately I only have 1 controller and i live with a few housemates so my PS3 is used as the netflix machine whilst the 360 is used for local co-op games.
