Well in general, the PS3 does the bandwidth switching dynamically under the covers so to speak. If you have a spotty connection or your bandwidth fluctuates, the picture quality will change while the movie is playing.

On the other hand, the Xbox pauses the movie, announces there has been a bandwidth change, then reloads at the new speed. It doesn't happen much I admit, but it seems less optimal.
