Blu-ray players will become cheaper than a PS3 in time. If you really don't want a PS3 I would just wait for that to happen. Using a controller as a remote is awkward anyways.
This next part is perhaps unnecessary but I feel I must say it. I can't help but laugh at all the fanboys coming out and telling you that suddenly you will love all the games coming out for the PS3. I have to assume that if you are posting on a gaming website that you are well informed as to what is on the horizon and know whether or not they are for you. Every console has its unique strengths and weaknesses when it comes to software line-ups. Why this happens and whether it can be prevented I am not sure, but I have always noticed that consoles seem to suffer in at least a couple genres. The absurd notion that eventually there will be enough PS3 (or Wii or 360) games that anyone could justify the purchase really is amusing to me.
