well, since you already have a PS3...and you have an Onkyo 605 to do the decoding, maybe give a stand alone a try?...my pick would be the Panasonic DMP-BD30 or the BD50 when it comes out.

Yes, it bitstreams all the hi-rez formats. The Onk 605 will decode them fine. The BD 30 is a very good player.
