Sony S350 bluray player was $99 on Christmas day in Blockbuster. Hard to beat that price. Insigna was $79.99 on Boxing day.
Bluray player plays DVD as well. I had co-worker bought a new DVD player recently instead because he thought Bluray player won't play DVD and he has a big collection of DVD movies.

and say u download those blu-ray mkv files... well the audio on that is usually DTS audio, and i don't see anything about that unit or the western digital player being able to decode DTS or bitstream it
and if you want something representative of blu-ray u'll download the 1080p file and that player doesn't support it... etc etc
+ those units are a $100+ if u get an external blu-ray drive.... thats hella expensive

PS3 gets my vote, here's why:
-price, it's fairly cheap for all it does
-upconverts beautifully, the PS3 does the best job I've seen yet
-load times, not sure if BR players have improved, but a bit back the PS3 was supposed to be among the fastest
-network connectable, not only for updates, but you can stream to this sucker. combined with its upconversion this is godly
-updateable, for future codec support and such

ps3 would be best bet after rethinking about it.
BR is like $150, PS3 can do much more for the price of $299

PS3 hands down...if you burn movies, you'll stop because you can just STREAM THEM to your big tv and delete em after or keep them on your HD. I used to burn a ton of movies...now I couldn't be bothered.
PS3 all the way...
and someone said it plays games..?
