The only reason I could think of to not get a PS3 is if you need the direct analogue audio outputs to hook up to your receiver or amp. There are probably other reasons which I'm sure others here will point out but that's the only biggie I can think of right now.
Also, if you can wait, Sony is going to stop making the 40GB PS3's (currently $399) and they will increase the hard drive to 80GB in the near future for the same price. Not sure when though.

1. What is your budget?
2. Does your amp support HDMI 1.3A?
3. Does your amp have 5.1 Analog inputs?

It should happen this September. Industry sources also says that the new 80GB core model will be the only PS3 possible to buy after that.
I do not think you have HDMI 1.3A. Do you have a model number? This means if you want HD audio using your current amp you cannot get it on the PS3. It does not have the analog output required. The Panasonic DMP-B30 is a very good suggestion. You can read our review here. Depending on your budget the upcoming Pioneer players also looks nice.

The only downside I can see for a potential buyer is the extra remote (Bluetooth). This was not a deal breaker for me, because I went out and bought the Nyko PS3 Blu-Wave IR remote and programmed my Logitech Harmony 880, thus eliminating the need for the Bluetooth remote.
Got that?
