Don't get me wrong, I appreciate what an HTPC can do. But it has to be better than a PS3 for $300 for playing BD. And not with further compressed video either, it's already REALLY compressed on a BD. And of course the HD audio. I just want a BD to look as good as it can, anything less than a PS3 isn't acceptable, not even a bit less (naturally, since I have the PS3 already). I always say, when people bug me (they expect I of all people would use an HTPC), that the PS3 *is* an HTPC. Except that it's not a PC LOL. So an A/V computer then. I do have Linux on it, but of course can't access any of the good stuff to do the A/V as "well" as Sony can. Putting Linux on a PS3 is about as far as I'll go dicking around with "PCs" in my own time. Maybe the PS4 will be more up my alley. The PS3 I think is a great proof of concept of what a pre-assembled tightly-integrated HTPC can do, so I'm convinced from that perspective.
