To PS3 or Not?

We are still a little behind on adopting BLUERAY to our latest technology gizmo collection.
Should we get a standalone BLUERAY DVD player OR get a SONY Playstation 3!.
I would hate to start a new collection of games on different platform and then when we go mobile we would have to choose which console to bring with us to play whatever game we are wanting to play.
With a large majority of the the games now available on all platforms I would like to stick with our XBOX360 for now.
With the exception of the Wii, that has proprietary games and motion controllers that are fun for a Party or other get together of a group. But for the longer strategy multi-player action quests, I would not think I would be standing in the middle of the living room for hours. Wildley swinging my arms and performing the actual motions to make the game movemements. Performing gun loading, re-loading and aiming as if I had the rifle in my hand looking through an imaginary scope. Sound like fun for a little while that you can make the game operate using motion sensing along with button presses. But for a long game or MMO where you play for hours with just small joystick moves and corresponding button presses to perform those actions I think will be the choice of gamers for a long time to come. The consoles have adapted to Aiming Control choices with the option of Mouse Control from PC Gaming.

What to do!
