No brainer. PS3. Blu-ray won the war. Plus the PS3 is one of the best upconverters for SD.

Since you're going to use it for Hi-def movies, go for the Ps3
If you're however, more into games. go for the Xbox 360

you can rip contents, but can't burn them into bluray discs (yet...) that's why the jack sparrows burn them on dvd9 discs.  :)

But what if you have a hybrid player, will you still buy HD-DVD? Especially when most of what's left are dirt cheap  ;)

agree with PS3 (BluRay)

Besides,  I'm beginning to see PC DVD drives that are capable of reading BluRay Discs... Costs around 6k na lang.  If you set up a HTPC you can set one up and start enjoying BD via yout HTPC setup..
