PS3 hands down. I think its time people let go of the video game console phobia and embrase it as a home entertainment system. The first of its kind. Sure it plays video games / music / browse the internet / stream video / play dvds upconverted / blu-ray movies / etc ... But doesn't that just make it more bang for your buck. Why spend the same price on a stand alone player when the video quality is the same but your not getting even a nickel of the same features. A stand alone player seems like such a huge waste of money to me. I think stand-alone players (if they remain at competitive prices with the PS3) will go the way of the dinosaur in the future. At least, this will be more true as the older generation (who are ignorant of technology) die off.
