The PS3 is big and ugly(IMO), and requires alot of airflow-more than the standalones. It also doesn't have an IR remote. The Sony 300 goes for $500, the new Samsung 1200 goes for $500, Panny's new model (same as old with updated FW) goes for $600. Samsung is coming out with 2 more models in another month or so. Sony will have a new standalone in a few months. There are lots of options out there, even for BD.
That said, there is a good chance that Mom and Dad will get an HD DVD player instead. Besides being cheaper, alot will have to do with preference of movies. The two formats tend to appeal to different target audiences. Also, right *now* there are more titles available on HD DVD than on BD, though that can change down the road.
Lots of goodies coming out down the road. :-)
