For media things recommend a PS3.
I don't know how tech-savvy your parents are but this is truly the best media center available for this price. (For gaming alone I would start to recommend a 360 but if you want both ...)
Best BluRay player
Great streaming and media support from external hard-discs (and replacable hd)
Great image player for digital images.
Seriously as a media center its amazing. And you might get some gaming out of it.
For BluRay: Looks amazing on the right TV but the discs are a bit expensive. But the upscaling of DVDs also looks great on the PS3 until BR discs drop in price
