I don't care about Blu-Ray itself at all. I don't have any Blu-Ray movies and I'm probably not going to be buying any.

When I had my PS3, I played both games and movies on it. I found it funny that when they stole my PS3 and all my games, they left all the movies. So now I have like 6 Blu-Ray movies that collect dust until I get another PS3.

[QUOTE="patriots7672"]

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.

PvtGump8

Show me one instance where Blu Ray is "necessary" for games.

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.

I knew someone would say that. But no, it's still not necessary and it wouldn't be on ten DVDs.

Looking at the poll numbers it seems as though a large number of PS3 owners could care less about Blu Ray movies.

Based on such a small sample population, it's a pretty big assumption to make. Even so PS3 is a game system 1st and foremost, with an impressive array of home theatre capabilities

And an even bigger portion of PS3 owners do care.

Bad trolling?

We gave away our DVD player when I got the PS3, if someone wants to watch a movie they just rent the blu-ray from blockbuster and play it on the ps3.

I have 2 blu-ray movies: Dark Knight and Vantage Point. and also I have every single episode of 24 season 7 aired so far on my PS3 HDD.

I have thirteen blu-ray movies yet I use my PS3 more for my seasons of shows on DVD than for blu-ray at the moment. And I use my PS3 about equally for film/tv and gaming; the same with my PS2 last gen.

My PS3 is not only a great gaming machine but my main movie player as well for both Blu-Ray and DVD. It does a great job of upscaling DVD. I already have several Blu-Ray titles in my collection and once you watch a few of the great ones (King Kong, Wall-E, The Dark Knight, Rambo) you can never turn back in my opinion. The PS3 is so versatile. Not only is the video quality of Blu-rays amazing in 1080p but with the right audio system the lossless audio is equally as impressive as the video. Even older movies that I've seen several times feel like watching it for the first time again on Blu-ray. The PS3 is no longer the cheapest blu-ray player available (it was for quite some time though) but when you factor in the PS3's versatility for all sorts of media combined with a great and growing library of games, the price is really not bad when you think about it. Not having to buy separate things such as wi-fi adapter and also being blu-tooth, the value for the money is terrific. I also own an X-Box 360 and when I add up everything else I had to buy extra for it, it turns out to cost about the same. In conclusion if you own a PS3 and don't really watch blu-ray movies on it, you're missing out on quite a treat.

Probably a 90 to 10 percent ratio of game to movie watching. mostly to the fact that I play a lot of games. I have 17 BR movies and more DVDs but I dont watch them daily like I play games.

But BR looks so purrty.

I just got my PS3 a few weeks ago so I've only seen one blu ray movie(hancock) but I expect to be watching a blu ray disc every month since we rent about that much.

Not using the Blu-Ray player is like paying $200K for a sportscar and never driving it. You could have purchased a civic that does the same thing, but you paid so much more for the extra bells and whistles... yet you let the thing sit in the driveway to atrophy. I'm not saying Blu-Ray is the only worthwhile feature, but it's a major feature. Why wouldn't you use it? It's like buying a HDTV, seeing that it picks up HD stations, but you still only watch the SD ones. LOL, why would you do that?

I don't use it all that much because I don't have an HDTV so while there is a difference between DVD and blu-ray it is so subtle and barely noticeable.

And gaming is such a more worthy feature to me than the blu-ray player. How else could I have played MGS4, Uncharted, Resistance 2, Heavenly Sword, and all the other games I have played without a PS3? To me, that's much more important than the blu-ray player and its the reason I bought the console: for gaming. HD-movies are just a plus once I get my HDTV.

I use and love it often .. We almost exclusively rent blu ray now ( this is of course after purchasing a 42" 1080p set ) ..

The detail is absolutely amazing .. if you have never seen a good movie in blu ray , at 1080p and preferably with 5.1 or more channels of surround , you really owe it to yourself to go do so .. I suppose its really no better than any other full 1080p feed , but its the only readily available source of multi hour length full HD entertainment media ..

so yes , i use blu ray cause its the new dvd .. like how I rarely picked up a vhs tape when dvd hit .. or how tapes took vinyls place , only to be dethroned by CD's , which are now being destroyed by the mighty MP3 .. its here , and as with most major formats , were going to be enjoying blu ray for 10 years or more . and there will be a future where you do not see dvd's at the movie store ..

Might I add that Cnet and other sites have reviewed the PS3's blu ray capabilities amongst its highest ! and claim that factoring the gaming,multimedia,internet,and networkingcapability in puts it in a class all its own , far surpassing the value and versatility of any other blu ray players on the market

It's not all that important, but I love the fact I can watch Blu-ray movies on it, especially since I recently got a 1080p TV. I only have 7 movies so far.But I don't have a lot of time for them anyway.

I use the game features more, but I do watch Bluray Movies. As one said earlier, I only buy Blurays if I like a Movie. I don't buy DVDs anymore. How important is the Bluray feature to me? Very important, because I only have HDTVs in my house.

Part of the reason I got my PS3 was for its Blu-Ray capability. Aside from games, I use the player quite a bit. Me and the girlfriend watch movies and it looks absolutely great on my Samsung 46". I've got a nice Blu-Ray collection that keeps growing, and just last night we watched Tropic Thunder because she had never seen it and she had a good laugh!

Bigboi500
Extremely important, I wanted to play PS3 games and the offer of a blu ray player included was far too good to pass up... I have about 38 Blu Rays ( including Band of Brothers box set and Terminator: TSCC) Just got the Quantum of Solace Blu Ray through Today :D
