I just got my PS3 last Monday and blu-ray was the main reason. I have owned a Wii for a little over a year now and the last console I owned before that was a Sega Genesis. With the Wii, I've been able to accumulate around 200 gamecube and wii games, so I've got plenty to keep me busy for a while. Don't get me wrong though, I just bought a new 46" full hdtv with a sweet surround system for my new apartment & high definition games are a huge plus, but PS3 games are expensive so I'll be much more discerning when choosing which games to buy. For now, I've just been playing GT5P & a few demos that I've downloaded........ I don't own any blu-ray movies yet.
No, I don't even have a HDTV yet so Blu Ray is pretty useless to me. I'll try one out when I do get a new TV, but that could be a while, for now i'll be fine with just DVD. I do like the fact that Blu Ray disks don't scratch so easily though :D
Absolutely... specifically because it was a BluRay player that played PS2 games. I would've ended up getting one regardless after my 360 broke three times, but my initial purchase was motivated by BluRay.
I did initially, but i quickly got tired of spending money on blu ray movies i only watched once or twice. I rarely buy blu ray movies now. I rent them from netflix. Now that a bunch of good games are out for ps3, the blu ray feature has become much less important to me.
It pushed me over the edge to buying a PS3. I picked up my 60gb sku when they were being discontinued and they had the 5 free blu-rays by mail when you picked up a PS3 or a blu-ray player. I knew I wanted a 60gb, but still was holding back because of the $500 pricetag. Then they started offering 5 free blu-rays and then it became instant buy.
Not one bit. I have not even watched a blu ray movie on my PS3 and ive had it for almost a month. I think it is a waste spending 30 or 40 bucks on a movie that is a little bit clearer when you can buy a DVD version for less then half of that.
yeah it did a little but I had no idea everything Blu ray had so many details to it. The games from PS2 on PS3 were my main inspirations for getting the PS3.
Blu-ray is no way even nearly the reason as to my PS3 purchase. My sole reason for a PS3 was for MGS4 and LBP, and yes, for (TWO) games is my only reason for purcahsing a PS3. Other than that I wouldn't own one.
Since the first Playstation, I've always been more interested in Sony gaming systems than any other brand.
Not because I'm a fanboy, but because everytime they come with a system, I see so much potential; alot of which usually never gets tapped (which is annoying).
But Bluray? Meh; that just means I have to rebuy my entire extensive DVD library in a new format; no thanks.
I bought a PS3 primarily for Blu-ray. I got it just after Warner made their announcement. I've got 20+ movies and 8 games. I buy all of my PS3 games used for $15-$20. Any game that's multi I get for my PC (Dead Space, Far Cry 2, and soon Fallout 3) PC has higher resolutions plus DX10, and are also cheaper.
I bought my PS3 strictly as a Blu-Ray player, I had it since January of this year, and Socom is the first game I bought since I had my PS3, I buy all of my games on 360 and play all of my Blu-Ray movies on the PS3
Not at all. I didn't buy a $500 sgaming ystem to watch movies on. Especially now that my system is discontinued and they only make crappy versions now, I won't put any wear and tear on it unless it is for gaming.
I brought it mostly for the games, and only a little bit for blue-ray, in a way blue ray was just an extra that i didnt care about to much.So it didnt influence me much at all.
When I got my 60GB in December 2006 I didn't really think Blu-ray will be anything of major importance. I was only glad it could play my DVD collection as my PS2 did.
Who would had though things would turn out the way they are today. I only cared for games, since I still have both PS1 ans PS2 working very well - tradition continued on my part.
I paid 699$ for quality and have no regrets since it works the way it should. To me it was an investment, so far it's been paying of remarkably, especially since Blu-ray had become standard HD player for mass-market.
I can't say today that it's not one of the reasons, it certainly is. I haven't watched DVD move since I got HDTV a year ago. It's truly great and fantastic edition to the console.
I bought my PS3 strictly as a Blu-Ray player, I had it since January of this year, and Socom is the first game I bought since I had my PS3, I buy all of my games on 360 and play all of my Blu-Ray movies on the PS3ProjectPat187
There were a few games I wanted to play on the PS3 that were the deciding factor, but Blu-Ray was a large part of the decision. The longer I own the system, the more it becomes my preferred choice for viewing movies rather than my preferred choice for gaming.
I didn't even know what blu-ray was until the hype for ps3 started. When I found out that it had a lot more room on the disc, i became a bit interested, but it was nothing large at all. I would have bought a ps3 even if it didn't come with blu-ray
