I'd get one now. It's a great deal and there is no guarantee when the next price drop will happen for the PS3, especially for $350. Having the emotion engine will be a complete bonus as well in case you want to have backwards compatibility that works more reliably.
There are good games coming out this year, and then great games coming out early next year. In the meantime, you could download some of the demos on the PSN and get a feel for some of the other games out there. You may be shocked and surprised if you find one that you weren't thinking much of and be surprised by how good it is. Lair looks like it will be a great game, and regardless of what the reviewers say of the game, I'll give it a rent and see how I enjoy it. I'm not going to go and rattle off a bunch of games that I don't know if you would like them or not, so just check out gamespot or ign and see what is in development and coming out this year to see if you should make the plunge or not.
Having blu-ray of course is a plus and not the reason why I bought mine. But it is a nice added bonus. But in the future someday you'll have a HDTV, so at least you'd have the PS3 whenever you came to time to get the HDTV.
My pokemon brings all the nerds to the yard. And they're like, "You wanna trade cards?" Damn right, I wanna trade cards. I'll trade this, but not my charizard.
