I initially bought my PS3 as a future bluray play, but even after a year I have yet to play a bluray movie on it. I've basically gone to digital distribution since its cheaper, faster and more convenient, and it makes the PS3 still useful.
But if you really want a bluray player, get the PS3, especially if you don't have a current gen system besides the wii. That way you get high quality movies, and good quality hidef games.
