PlayStation 3 80GB
The short and sweet: if you need a blue ray player, your purchasing decision is easy. Buy the PS3. End of story.
And if you expect to do a fair amount of Blue Ray viewing, I definitely recommend spending another $20 for the Sony PlayStation 3 Blu-ray Disc Remote.
Rock solid hardware - enjoy blue ray movies and get a great gaming console all in one well integrated, good looking box. Looks great in your A/V rack, let's you get rid of old DVD player(s), makes a decent media server, operates without a hiccup (including long gaming sessions), quiet, reliable.
If you already have a Blue Ray player and are looking for your first gaming console, then I urge you to carefully review all available game titles (the ones you really want to play) and consider the importance of on-line services, multi-player capability, etc. I believe XBOX 360 still has the edge for game titles and on-line play, services - but that didn't stop me from buying latest version PS3 80GB last year (first Playstation I ever owned) and I just unboxed another yesterday.
FYI: I own both XBOX360 and PS3. I like both gaming consoles and won't give either up; see other reviews for comparisons, etc. Both look and sound great with video and audio switched through main AV Receiver (Sony STR-DA4400ES 7.1 Channel) and splashed onto 60 inch HDTV. Using a gigabit switch and CAT6 patch cables to consolidate ROKU, XBOX360 and PS3 (all are located in main A/V rack) internet access via wired gigabit LAN.
As mentioned above, I just unboxed and installed another (brand new) PS3 80GB console yesterday (May 5, 2009). This one was installed downstairs (kids media room) as we needed another Blue Ray player and I couldn't resist the excuse to grab another PS3. This PS3 is connected via HDMI with a smaller HDTV (Sony Bravia KDL-37XBR6, 37-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV - biggest one we could fit into the built in media alcove). Set-up was a breeze, audio and video are great. Get more detail about PlayStation 3 80GB.
