I think he means a blue-ray drive for the PC, not a stand alone ps3/unit. Also depends if you want a reader only or also one that writes?
If you do want stand alone then the ps3 is a great option because you will likely end up spending around the same amount for just a player…why not add the extra gaming? If not, then I just bought the Samsung BD-P1600 which has integrated netflix and pandora. So I get my nextflix movies instantly streamed and the pandora is internet radio…I love it!
As far as blue-ray drives I don’t have one but have heard good things with Sony or LG.
