I am thinking of getting a PS3, I have done some research and become interested in internet TV. I've tried Playon.tv - it is nice, but not yet refined enough for primetime. The video is quite compressed, but the bigger trouble is it is still klunky trying to surf channels. Google TV will be out soon and I bet within a few years it will be refined enough to justify canceling my satellite TV.
Anyway - my point is; Sony will be working quite close with Google TV. I expect that they will support it with the PS3, hopefully even Hulu will join in. (they aren't THAT lame, are they?) Anyhow, Sony supposedly is announcing wireless n on the PS3 and I suspect it will make for a better experience with internet tv - whether I use Google TV or playon.tv I really want to buy now, but I don't see the point when wireless n is right around the corner. I may just buy a house brand blu-ray for now and get the PS3 later - I can then use the house player elsewhere.
