I think your best bet is to wait a little longer and see what Sony does with future PS3 consoles. The prices will come down a little more over the summer, I'm sure. Plus Sony will always update the PS3 firmware making it one of the best HD players out there.

My only regret about the PS3 is that it's not backwards compatible. So, if I wanna play all my PS2 games, I'll have disconnect the PS3 and hook up the PS2 again.

That was the problem with the very first Blu-ray players, they didn't have a way to connect to the internet. HD-DVD players, on the other hand, always had ethernet ports.

That's a good point. They always said they would sooner or later but I don't know if they enabled that feature.

I just bought a 1080p LCD TV but I'm waiting on the Blu-Ray player. Sony is coming out with a player in December that I'm waiting on. I don't have the specs at hand right now, I'll post them later.
Meanwhile, I have a stack of Blu-Ray DVD's and nothing to play them on, LOL.
