The PS3 is still rated very highly in blu-ray player reviews, usually because of all it’s other features and the ability to update features and firmware. If your dad just wants a player then i’m sure a $150 will be fine, there may be a reduction in quality but it wont be huge.
Suggest a model to your dad and see what he thinks.
The person below who says that the PS3 doesn’t have 7.1 or TrueHD is wrong. I know because I use both. You just need an AV receiver that supports it, and that applies to ALL blu-ray players.
