I'm keeping an eye on the apple tv3, but may go with the latest popcorn hour or dune hd players.  I have blu-ray rips to folders that I currently stream across the house and only a few players can play them.

There is no WAY apple TV will play blu ray rips.

You may want to check out the Popcornhour or Dune series of media streamers, although they may be pricey.

I think it doesn't matter so much that it's a Blu-ray rip but rather what settings were used to make the rip. A Blu-ray could be ripped to a variety of different containers and resolutions. The Apple TV has no way of knowing what the source media was. It's just knows what format the ripped file is in. And a jailbroken Apple TV with XBMC has pretty wide compatibility with various containers/codecs. And for all I know it's capable of downscaling a 1080p rip to its 720p output. At any rate, I've played lots of 720p Blu-ray rips on my jailbroken iPad 1.
