Well, I guess it's over. I'll keep watching my existing HD DVD movies and renting until a sub-$300 Profile 2.0 Blu-Ray player is available. I hope I don't have too long to wait--but I probably do.
Seriously, your best bet is to get the PS3 as a stand alone player. That's what I ended up doing this weekend. Sony announced a firmware upgrade that would make it 2.0 (BD-Live) compliant. Bought a Nyko Blu Wave usb adapater so that I can control the PS3 with my current Logitech Harmony remote. It's the best option right now if you are looking to dive into Blu-Ray.
Even if blu-ray wins in the next couple of months, I will not buy a blu-ray player until a profile 2.0 player is released. It must have DTS-HD and Dolby TrueHD so don't recommend a PS3. I also do not like "two in one" game system and movie player together.

I agree with Dave.
