Do you own a Blu-ray player?
Just wondering the breakdown here...

PS3 -- and it's worth it. Up-converts DVD to 1080p, and is firmware upgradeable over the Intarwebs.
Great device. You can spend $300 on a middle-of-the-road BR player, or spend about that on a PS3 and play games, as well as have another Internet connection point. Let Sony take the loss on the BR drive cost... JP

I use a Media Center PC. It plays Blu-Rays, HDDVDs, Regular DVDs, and even stores all of my ripped movies, music and pictures in one easily accessible place.

I have a cheap Sony blu-ray player. My problem with the playstation is that it does not play music and that is what kept it out of my entertainment center.

I just got a new Hi Def TV at Christmas, so we got a Blu-Ray player to take advantage. The quality is very nice.

I don't even have a flat panel TV never mind HD. Blueray would be a waste of good technology at the moment.
