I am in the market for a new BRP that does streaming. Any recommendations?

I was thinking of just getting a PS3 with the 160gb HD. I don't want to spend more than $250 and I want easy set up and controls with fast loading. My first generation Sony 300 BRP is painfully slow and it does not stream. I was hoping to go with the top of the line Oppo with the analog upgrade but money is tight with college tuition for my kids coming due.

Thanks,

Larry
