You are asking too much from a single device (even a PS3 needs PS3mediaserver transcoding stuff on a PC to make it worthwhile).

What you really need is a cheap Blu Ray player, and then another device like a XBMC ION Box or a WD Live Plus.

I've been also looking for a similar player. I just recently purchased the Vizio VBR231 Bluray player which just came out for $150 at Costco but it doesn't have DLNA capabilities.

Well, I was back at Costco today and noticed the Sony BDP-BX57(rebadged Sony BDP-S570) for $189. It has DLNA support, Wifi-N, 3D ready and 1gb of internal memory.

Reading over at AVSforums, it's DLNA support is limited but supposedly improving with firmware updates. I'll probably return the Vizio for this.
