You lost me there my friend.

For example, US and Canada uses region 1 DVDs, Most part of Europe uses region 2 DVDs, so European PS2s only plays region 2 DVDs, American PS2 only plays region 1 DVDs, and Japanese PS2 only plays, whatever region number they use. So I wonder if they play any region DVDs or just one like PS2. I have no idea if blue rays have this region thing, which I don't understand myself the reason to have.

I guess for those that lives outside of the three brackets, still needs to have a dvd player. What about blue ray, does blue ray has region codes as well? Some DVD players can be unlocked to region 0 (or region free), I wonder if there is a way on the Playstaion system as well.

Two things:

1. This is a board to teach me in the ways of the PS3, not to guess how old you are!

2. New question, what is better, PS3, or Blu-Ray DVD player?

Blu-ray is a format just like DVD is, so it's just a blu-ray player. But to answer your question, a PS3 is definitely better if you like to play games and it's only $100 more than a regular blu-ray player. $100 isn't much more to save so if i were you, i would definitely buy a PS3.

Like almost all DVD players the PS3 is region locked. Blu-Ray movies are also region locked, though the regions are organized differently compared to DVD.

Do you know if there is any code to unlock, like many dvd players has lock, but entering a code you can unlock for region free. I have a DVD layer, by sony in which I unlock to Region free. I didn't knw Blue ray also had regions. It sucks for people that lives outside countries that manufacture the PlayStation systems. It sure take off the advance of Blue Ray driver, if you live in a different area, Like you can see here when I talk about region no many people seem to know about. I hope those that lives in countries that has different regions in which PlayStation supports check it out before buying one, specially if the solo reason, or the most important reason is the Blue Ray drive, or looking for a Blue Ray/DVD player.

As far as I'm aware there is no legal way to unlock a PS3.

I didn't knw Blue ray also had regions. It sucks for people that lives outside countries that manufacture the PlayStation systems.

I'm certain people could import PS3s from countries with the same BR region code. As there are in fact only three of them:


Region A: Orange
Region B: Green
Region C: Purple

It's a fabulous DVD player, it upscales to a full 1080p and anything beneath. As to which is better: blu-ray will give you a much clearer, detailed picture, but at a cost. DVD is still good for the low price, but for a film you particularly love get it on blu-ray.

yes, the PS3 or any Blu-Ray player for that matter can play dvd's, but it doesnt work the other way, DVD players do not play Blu-Ray movies (many customers at my job think their dvd players can do that) which identifies them as the ultimate noob

Not only can it play DVDs, but it can upscale them to HD if you have an HDTV and HD cables.

Being extra cautious is never noobish. Especially when he is making a $300 investment.

Sure, he COULD have used Google, but we all like +1 post count right ;)?

It does all that you asked, and you can also burn music from your music CD to your PS3 and play it off of there.
