I'd like to just use a single blu ray player to handle both of those without connecting my computer, and I think that will be the neatest way with way less cables running all over the place.
Something to possibly consider is that you can set some media sharing on a windows 7 comp. I have mine set so it shows as a "Media Device" and have it sharing a specific video and music folder off of my computer. Then in the living room we have a blu ray player that has a network cord plugged in. (I feel like most people do this due to things like netflix/youtube/hulu... mine can do wireless too, but I prefer being plugged in) It then registers other media devices and lets you play off of them. I think this is the DLNA stuff which the blu ray player you listed supports too. So if you are going to have a net connection on your blu ray player then you might be able to get around using a usb stick at all and just play things over the network itself.
