Looking to go Format Neutral with some Extra Cash

[HDAllTheWay]

Hi All -

I ran into some extra holiday cash from Santa and have Wife approval to spend it on home theatre goodies. My setup currently conists of the following -

Samsung 50" 1080p DLP
Onkyo HDMI 1.3 TX-SR605
XBOX 360
360 HD-DVD Add-On.
Harmony 720 Universal Remote


I'm interested in going format neutral so I can enjoy BD movies as well as lossless sound and the new high-rez soundtracks that I've been missing since my Add-on downcoverts everything to DD.

Any advice on a good Blu-Ray player that will give me access to the TrueHD,DD+ sound tracks?

I actually DO game, but honestly the size of the PS3, as well as the lack of IR that would break my single remote functionality sucks. Otherwise it would be a good contender. If someone told me a firmware update in the future would provide something other than PCM, I would be more interested. Any guesses if the PS3 will ever be upgraded to support HDMI 1.3 bitstream?

I've been hearing alot of about new Panny player.

Budget is around 4-$500.00. Oh, I also have $100.00 in gift certiffates for Best Buy. Advice on which route I should go?
