blu ray player game console image

I'm Looking into a Blu-Ray player, and I'm wondering if the PS3 would be a good choice for one. I'm also into video games, and I already own a Wii and a 360. However, I know many other Blu-Ray players are less than the $300 price the PS3 has. Any tips/recommendations?
Answer
Since Blu-Ray is a relatively new technology, get a player that is able to get firmware updates in case there are changes to the media. The PS3 is an excellent choice there.
A perfect example of this: Remember older DVD players cannot play CDs or burned disks, aren't compatible with MP3s, JPGs, or even AVIs. Some even had a hard time recognizing dual-layer discs. If they were able to upgrade the firmware in the player, they might still be useful today.
PS3 is so much more than just a gaming console, also. You can stream music, movies, and pictures from your PC, stream TV and movies from the internet, have access to all the NetFlix instant movies to your main entertainment system. It is also an upscaling DVD player, web browser, WiFi connectivity built in...
PS3 is a great choice if it is in your budget.

Is there a way to connect netflix through cable?
Q. I have an older tv that I want to have netflix. Is there a way to stream movies through a router through the cable. If not is there another way to do this without an gaming console or blu ray player.
Answer
Hmm not really sure either if you can actually stream Netflix through a router through the cable on older tvs.
But if you save Netflix streaming to the hard disk on your computer I guess then you should be able to connect the tv through the cable and playback the movie.
There's actually some Audials piece of software that, among other things, is also able to capture, record and save streaming movies from Netflix subscription.
Of course I've only used it to save a couple of Netflix streaming videos for offline watching on some trip, but other than that it actually works pretty good: it's reliable and the videos and movies you save from Netflix are in pretty good quality.
Dunno what else to say, guess this is one of your options if you ask me.
