I recently got the PS3 and have thus far used it mostly as a blu-ray player. I LOVE it. The fact that I can also play games, and use it as an mp3 server is just icing on the cake. Also, upgrading the hard drive in the PS3 seems extremely simple. There's even instructions in the owners manual as to how to do it. They make it quite easy. So for about $175 you could upgrade your PS3 to a full 250GB.
