And I don't need it for media playback as I have an AppleTV. So this suggests that I wait for the Oppo. I guess blu-ray has another drawback: I don't believe it's possible to rip blu-ray movies with Handbrake so that I can put them on my iPhone/iPod/laptop, right? Or can they be ripped? That might be the deal-breaker for a while... Right, I have a new A/V receiver which handles all the new formats, so that does suggest not using a PS3.

The best the PS3 can do is decode those formats and send them to the receiver via LPCM. The PS3 has a decent upscaler, but again, if you have a better upscaler in your receiver or in a newer BR player, then obviously it would be better to use that. That being said, I have a PS3 and I'm happy with it. I rip my dvds and play them over the PS3 through TVersity and that works well for me.
