HTPC vs. PS3 on a 60" LG Flat Panel

[Arioch]

Well I still own an XBOX 360 and have used it as my primary DVD Player. Works pretty awesome actually.

My thoughts are if I go for an HTPC then I could archive my DVD's digitally instead on burning them all the time. The BD feature is just for those special movies that need to be "PERFECT". It will also replace my short lived Xbox 360HD player

Back to my original question... And perhaps this needs to be in a HTPC forum instead... But is the technology ready for my investment in a stand alone HTPC that can play BD with the very best visual and audio on the market. Ultimatley that is my goal. I know my TV is rather large and concerned about the challenges some people have mentioned about the 50+ screens.
