I bought one for the wife, she doesn't need all the extra crap, just something to play blu-rays. Samsung for $179 at Frys, which was a good deal at the time.
I'm sticking with my PS3, it's working fine for me so far.
I considered buying a PS3 but I found I could build a HTPC cheaper than I could buy a PS3, so now I get all of the capabilities of a PS3 plus a lot more expandability options.
