I would consider just getting a ps3 but I don't think its upconversion is going to be that much better than the xbox. I guess I'll wait and see what Oppo does in the blu-ray arena.
i don't own a ps3, but i have read numerous reviews saying that its standard DVD playback is quite good, and easily better than the xbox 360's. i'm personally waiting to get one to see if they enhance its blu-ray capabilities at all on the hardware side, as well as add some of the features back in that were removed from the launch models. (ditching the backwards compatibility was one of the stupidest moves they've made, in my opinion)
