Welcome,
You are not going to get any arguments here about your thoughts on Blu-ray, however there are many more advantages than the ones you have highlighted (HP have taken to sitting on the fence - Dell, Apple and Sun are in up to their eye balls). The players have a way to come yet, especially with the audio. Although the PS3 is games console it's apparently quite a mean Blu-ray player and it does have HDMI 1.3 (for the audio part, it will only be useful for audio once the receivers catch up) and is the cheapest Blu-ray player in many parts of the world. If you are planning on waiting I would be looking at the Panasonic BD-10a (not as yet released). I however suspect once you see a good Blu-ray set up, waiting will not be an option.
