I got a PS3 recently for 180$, good price, came with Uncharted 3 and 4 controllers. Barely used, came with Warranty and manuals and everything. Only a year old, 120GB version.
Been using it to Stream anime and movies straight to my TV rather than hooking my PC up to it or burning them to a DVD. Plus, Blu-rays and whatnot now. Picked up a few PS3 games, a few fun ones. Plus, just so much easier to not have to burn every movie to disc, or anime series.
I just stream a 1080p, FLAC encoded anime straight to my TV and can watch. I give it 10 seconds to buffer and it's all good. Can select subtitles, language, ect. PS3 MEdia Server rocks.

Seriously, you got a PS3...it rules to use this. It instantly converts everything while you're watching, really fast, and no quality loss if you chose lossless transcoding(need a strong CPU and fast Ethernet cable)
I now watch all my anime on my 50'' Plasma TV, rather than my 24'' Monitor. Nice experience and no hassle at all. Just click, click, and my entire anime & movie library are available.
