How many of you bought a PS3 for the bluray player?

I'm about to buy a surround system, just bought a new tv and thought "dude im going to need a bluray player, can't be any different.."

So i headed down to the nearest media store and asked them about which one i should pick, he clearly stated that the PS3 is one of the best and cost exactly the same as a regular bluray player, if i was going to get something better i would be paying 5 times more then what a ps3 with no games cost x_x

So yeah, i'm getting a ps3 but that's almost only because of the exellent bluray player, the gaming part is a bonus.:)

Am i alone in this? or has other people bought it only for that reason?

i dont need another console i wont play,its not the best blueray player anymore

so ill get a blueray player when they're cheaper.

As console goes No thanks,just a waste of cash!

um, this is gaming site, i dont think any movie buff is going to be on here......

also only sony fanboys bought ps3(mostly) so blu-ray means nothing to them except for teh sony logo because i see that 100+ mill ps2 but very few ps3 sold so far(alot on shelves ps2 was almost always sold out)

If you have a good sound system and a receiver that has an HDMI output, you're going to be loving life.

So you probably don't own a PS3 or an HDTV. I have a PS3 and a 55inch Sony Bravia tv, that I watch Blu-Ray movies in and I love it. Watching upconverted DVDs on a PS3 is horrible. So I know you don't own a PS3.shawnjfulton

ehm what? Was that to me?

I've gotten a Samsung LE32R86 and i'm going to buy a ps3 as i stated.

Upgrading my receiver was the best thing I've done in a while. It's freaking mind blowing.

Movies on BD and MGS4 really seperate themselves from other formats/games.
