Yeah, the PS3 is still a good choice. BD players are generally still quite expensive (especially those with the feature set of the PS3), so if you think you'll get
any use out of the gaming portion of the PS3, it's pretty much a no-brainer. IMO.
Here is a good little article on the topic.
This article is encouraging, in that it shows that Sony is still putting significant research & development resources into the PS3.
Also encouraging for PS3 fans/owners is the fact that the PS3 has outsold the Wii in Japan by a considerable margin for two straight months (
see here). The Wii had outsold the PS3 there for the previous 16 months.
