Sony PS3 or dedicated BluRay player

I have been looking at getting into HD videos and from I can see, BluRay seems to be winning. The PS3 is a good bet in terms of a high end BluRay player as well as being a game console. And at $600(US) it's the cheapest BluRay player out there.

But now Sony have announced the BDP-S300 which is their second generation standalone player that will retail for US$500. Being a proper BR player it has a standard IR remote, standard player form factor and supports the latest technology such as Dolby TrueHD and 60Hz/24fps

Looks like the way to go since I am not a gamer. I think I will head down that route rather than the PS3 given the cost savings and more integrated nature of the unit
