I got 6 Blu Ray movies so far, and a bunch of DVDs. I watch them sometimes. I use it mainly for games though.

Never watched a blu-ray movie in my life, idiotic for them to put it in there and it's whats brought along my hatred of Sony. It'll come in handy for me down the line when tech moves forward but right now i don't need nor want it in my PS3.

I usually don't buy movies, but when a really good one comes along, I'll just get it on blu ray. I already saw TDK twice with my PS3, which kept me really happy. :D

Ive only watched one blu ray movie on it, which came free for joining PSN.

It was casino royale, but i never watched it all as id seen it already.

I still like blu ray though, for the games.

Bluray is necessary this generation, but Lems will tell you differently because M$ doesn't use it. It's got great capacity (25gb, 50gb, 100gb, 200gb, and 250gb), scratch resistant, and best quality video and audio vs (9gb, 18gb) scratchable, and normal quality video and audio.

I wouldnt call it a ''necessary'' feature...

Now a controller is a ''necessary'' feature right?...cuz wifout a controlla you cant pway the viddyeogame! then what are you doing huh? Lookin at the main menu watching the press start icon flash? thinkin to yourself ''what am I gonna go now...Im screwed?''. Thats a necessity right there.

Bluray? thats just more of a luxary item, a really really really good one. :)

I've used it a few times but I find alot of movies look like crap because of film grain, ie Dark Knight you get the IMAX scenes that just knock your socks off (and then you KNOW you're watching blu-ray)...then you get to the regular film parts and you get half the screen in letter box and with the film grain on top of it, it makes it almost look like it's off an anamorphic DVD. I guess if more movies were made straight to digital format or in IMAX i'd probably start using Blu-ray more over DVDs.

Exactly. The TC should first ask if you have a HDTV or not. Because if you don't, chances are you're not using blu-ray.

I would've been fine without it, but since it's included in my ps3 i now prefer to get blu rays. Of course, i'd still rather sink my money into games then movies, so i don't have a big BR collection. It does outnumber my ps3 collectiong though, but it's worth knowning that my ps3 isn't even a year old and i prefer to play multiplats on the 360/wii.

Is it important? Hell yeah. The PS3 being a Blu-ray palyer was one of the main reasons I bought a PS3 when I did. That and Uncharted.i watch Blu-ray flicks all the time. In fact, I no longer buy DVDs unless I can't get the movie in any other format.

The only blu-ray movie I have is Spiderman 3. I'd buy more if they weren't so expensive. I'd rather spend my money on games.

I'm a huge movie buff, they come second to video games. So I watch Blu-ray all the time. I also use other functions like the web browser regularly.

MGS4...unless you want it on about 10 DVD's. DVD's will go the way of CD's when it comes to gaming. It was only a few years ago I could go to Best Buy and buy any new PC game on DVD or CD, go try to find a game on CD now.

Um the Blu Ray feature is pretty much a must, considering how all the PS3 games are on Blu Ray discs.

Having said that, I haven't used it to watch Blu Ray movies at all.

Anyone notice how they now include the DVD version when you buy some Blu-ray movies?


Is this how they're going to phase them out?

How important is the Blu Ray player to you?

Bigboi500
Simple answer NO Never Blu Rays cost more money why would i want to buy Blu Rays when i still dont have a HD set up? Although i do like the fact i have a Blu Ray Player it means i wont be left behind. Although i honestly do not see Blu Ray Taking off for a while yet, well at least to the extent of DVDs.
