I realized that many people use the ps3 as a blu-ray player and not as a game console. I know many may argue with me but just think of it, it's one of the cheapest blu-ray players on the market and it has so many other features bundled up with it. I came up with this conclusion based on how I see the increase in console sales for the ps3 but the sales of accessories and games all being beaten by the xbox. Because when I went to best buy to get a blu-ray player for my wife(some reason she wants one now) the sales clerk insisted for me to just get a ps3, then he gave me A WHOLE BUNCH OF reasons why. If the ps3 didn't have blu-ray than I believe it would've sold a lot less, thus this is why I think the ps3 is used for the wrong reasons!

So.........did you get one or not? If you bought another "blu-ray player" other then the PS3, then why did you choose the other one?

If PS3 launched with out Blu-Ray It would have been about $200 Cheaper than that $600 Launch Price

Now If that were the Case Xbox 360 would have been blown out of the water a long time ago

at launch every company is would start at the highest base price than begin to cut down..

one of the things fanboys often complain about the xbox is how it doesnt have blu-ray, so if ps3 never included blu-ray what more is there for ps3.. NOTHING..

when you ever go to a electronics store do they ever insist that the xbox 360 is dvd player!! Or that it's only for digital movie rentals NOOO they only indicate that it's for games!.. So when Wasdie said he watches movies on the xbox, I was Shocked of how dumb the response was seriously anyone with a brain would know that nobody buys an xbox just to watch movies!!!!

I smell bs. Why would you sell a PS3, just to buy another Blu-Ray player. I mean didnt you just say that you wife wants a Blu-Ral player now?????

And no one pays a PS3 to watch movies either. I'm sooo glad that you brought that up.

Wrong. The why that it works is....You SAVE up for want you want. Crackheads SELL things to get what they want.

And NO, I AM NOT CALLING YOU OR YOUR WIFE A CRACKHEAD

I dont understand this thread. Its a feature of the console and Sony has advertised it solely as a Blu Ray Disc player before. Its a primary use for the console so its not being used in a "wrong" way by anyone. Unless of course you're trying to hack into the white house or something. :P
