Should I just get a PS3 to avoid the Blu-Ray Profile 2.0 problem some will face soon?

I don't play games, but the Blu-Ray Profile 2.0 Spec seems to be gaing development momentum. The players which cost the same as the PS3 40 gig are all below that 2.0 spec. As I am aware the current $399 PS3 will be software upgradeable to that 2.0 spec, and the PS3 hardware can certainly handle whatever they throw at it for at least the next 10 years. I don't play games and it seems that the PS3 might just be the best "future proof" Blu-Ray player out there? Any thoughts? I am putting the HD-DVD player I have in the closet soon.

I might buy this PS3 just for the Blu-Ray capabilities? Is there any logic to this, what have your experiences been with a PS3 as a blu-ray player?

Thanks, I am a newbie to all this blu-ray stuff, I am mourning the loss of my now extinct HD-DVD!!!
