I tried the Media center route with a Blue ray drive but I've never been happy with it, mainly because of its inability to output digital sound over its SPDIF out. I can't be bothered to spend ever more money on it, so it's going.
I'm not interested one bit in playing console games I just want something to play blueray titles.
Whats the best route to go? A PS3 or save some cash and get a stand alone player, such as a Sony BDPS350. Does the PS3 have any benefits?
Also my understanding is that it's sensible to look for a player thats has HDMI v1.3 as a minimum for the best audio output, is that correct?
