Mad Mike.. the only thing that is waste of money here is the PS3:
1. Add Blu-Ray/HD DVD drive to PC 2.) Install TVersity (free) on PC 3.) Rip Blu-Ray and HD DVD movies to H264 or any other codec with AnyDVD HD 4.) Stream them through your PC to your TV or if you already have a PS3 or X360 use that.
There's no need to buy a PS3 for this.. only a good drive for PC so you can rip everything. And yeah, HD DVD (Plextor) is best solution because it allows you to rip HD DVD exclusives too. So you are not missing out on anything.
"I'm a college student looking for a new laptop, but almost all of my media I receive digitally. I'm looking for a laptop, not a netbook, without an optical drive, and budget sensitive. The optical drive will just be a waste of space, when I can have thinner laptop. What's out there?"
