I'd say one of the $240.00 blu-ray/hd-dvd combo read drives you can now purchase for htpcs. For $240.00 and support for both formats, how can you lose out?
Of course, you'd need a reasonably recent pc with dvi-ouput that goes to 1920x1080i resolution + a decent sound card supporting 5.1 or 7.1 ideally. Maybe a pair of nice pc speakers. I'm currently susnig the Creative Gigawatt S750s? I think tahts the name... Iknow S750 is the model number and creative is definitely the manufacturer. Anyways, they respond well for both movies or gaming when paired with an AuzenTech Prelude 7.1 which blows creative xifis out of the water.
For those looking for a device strictly for reading, the new Kobo is a nice little option. It's small enough to slip into a pocket, can do more with a PDF than the competition, and at $129, it's $10 cheaper than both the Nook and Kindle WiFi.
