If you are really eager to jump on the blu-ray bandwagon, you could also add a blu-ray DVD player to your PC and this rig will play it. Though, at that point- you might consider getting one of the HP Slimline PCs (very tiny and quiet) with a bluetooth keyboard, blu-ray player, and HDMI out for under $1k. Small enough to easily fit in your home-theater cabinet and then you'd have a dedicated mediacenter PC. Considering most blu-ray players are still around $250-$500... that could really make some sense! Oh, and one more tip for everyone.

I went w/ Plasma and have had some burn-in issues. I hear the newer sets don't have that as a problem now. Still, I think I'd probably go LCD if I were getting one today. Mainly cause they are lighter & thinner and a bit less costly. I think they use less juice, too (not that I'm hugging any trees, eating granola, or wearing birkenstocks).
