Timely discussion. I just got a new Denon 3808 and will be setting it up once I get some cables and networking stuff delivered.

With this thing being network-able, I want to take advantage of it's capabilities and also stream music, internet radio, pics, video, DVDs through it and the 58" plasma hanging on the wall. Also need a Blu-Ray player and having the ability to surf the internet with a bluetooth keyboard/mouse is also high on the list of "wants".

Sean mentioned the PS3. I have done an enormous amount of research and this piece of equipment is amazing. It does ALL of the stuff I mentioned above AND is one of the best Blu-Ray players out there (with the ability to take firmware upgrades.

Oh yeah, it is a game console too.

The price is pretty good when you consider the capabilities. Sony apparently has a deal right now where you sign up for a Sony credit card and get $100 off a purchase over $299 and no interest for a year. I'm thinking a new PS3 is going to be on the way soon.

Anybody using the thing for Blu-Ray? Pluses/minuses?
