I'm thinking of getting a PS3 after the 360 fried, and wondered if the PS3 actually plays Blu-Ray movies??? Sorry if this is an ignorant question but I want to make sure I know what I'm getting. I'd love to be able to watch HD movies on "DVD". I don't know squat about HD-DVD vs. Blu-Ray. Are they equal in quality?
yes it can play bluray :) you can check wikipedia for more indepth facts (remember that it could've been altered on that site, but you'll get a general idea)
basically bluray: can be programmed, supported by most movie companies, and can store 25gb on each layer. :)
blue-ray is 25gigs and 50gigs(duel layered) in capacity. HD-DVD is 30gigs I think.
the PS3 is a blue-ray disk player, yes. Instead of a red laser to read disks, it uses a more powerful blue-violet laser, which is smaller in diameter, to read the tightly packed code on a blue-ray disk
:) Thank you raualex and Mordred. I appreciate your responses.
:roll: I don't know if the rest of you were making fun of me, but if you were that is extremely rude. I came to this board for your experience and you don't need to be insensitive.
