Yep, the PS3 handles decoding most codecs these days.  I can stream
content to it wirelessly.  Honestly, even if the PS3 never played
games, but was just a BluRay player, and a media center, it would be
worth the cost.  Oh, and Sony supports installing Linux on the PS3,
even providing you an option in the system to help partitioning for
Linux, and also supports upgrading the HDD without voiding the
warranty.  The hardware is all very standard (BluRay drive, standard
USB ports, 802.11 g, gigabit ethernet ports, bluetooth, etc).  I'm a
big fan of the PS3.
