HDTVs and DVR boxes almost always have USB ports on them these days. Why? So you can update firmware. I'm sure BluRay players will be the same way if they're not already. It's not like the PS3 is the only machine on earth that can connect to the internet. Almost everything can connect these days.

And yes, the PC is a very viable option. My HDTV has a VGA port on it. I often use it as a monitor for my laptop. Therefore, if I had a BluRay drive connected to my laptop, I could just play it that way. Or, with a Wireless N router, I think you can actually stream HD content over a wireless network. I know for a fact that wireless G doesn't quite get the job done, but N should do the trick.

These days you can literally do just about anything you want to do and connect anything to virtually anything else with the use of a router. The caveat to that is that you have to know some home networking basics, which is actually pretty easy these days.
