Besides the PS3, are there any plans for a Blu-ray player that has Wi-Fi in addition to ethernet?

This would be my dream player.

This would be my dream player also. That, or being able to control the PS3 via HDMI-CEC (Bravia Theatre Sync) or via a universal remote.

The best solution IMHO is to buy a Wireless Bridge. It's between 35-50$ and you can hook up to 4 device to it. I got one of ebay (netgear) and currently use my Receiver, Bluray player and Xbox with it...

I found the NetGear on Ebay. Is it a good bridge?

I've been trying to find a blu-ray player that has WIFI capability for a long time already. WIFI standalones will eventually come out.

Well i've never got any problems with it. Netgear call it a Print Server. I know that Linksys do a GAME Bridge with only 1 port witch is the same. But i needed at least 3 port and that was the only solution i found...

Good info. I'm going to check this out too because I need a wireless solution.

I wonder if you could use a network adapter from a 360 on the Blu-ray player? I need a wireless solution too as I'm looking into a standalone player. To me the WiFi is the only benefit of the PS3.

Not to go off topic, but the IR2BT is a good option to control the PS3 with a Universal remote. I have a Harmony One that controls the PS3 via the IR2BT.

A standalone Blu-ray player that has wi-fi capabilities would be awesome! Hopefully they're start to pop up in the near future.
