thinks this may be one of the good reasons to get a PS3, especially since they are 299 now.

Can get a good quality blu-ray for about 200 these days that will also upscale. PS3 does not do that - regular DVDs look like crap on it.

PS3 has had DVD upscaling since a firmware update in 2007. I read a few reviews that says it isn't as good as some stand-alone blu ray players...but it is good.

Not to mention being able to plug an external HDD into the ps3 and use it to play movie files and such that way.

People enjoy different platforms for games, so there will be differences of opinions there. But PS3 does upscale and I still think it is the most versatile blu ray player out, regardless of if you play games due to its ability to play almost any file type imaginable. Sure you can get a blu ray drive in your PC and use DVI (or probably HDMI on PCs now? I use Mac) on a flat screen TV....but is just a matter of opinion
