psn id: gingo.... so that other survey done a few months ago was a complete lie saying only 27% or something watched blu ray films. well unless more people are watching them than before but i doubt there was that big an increase

hey ,,, one   thas goood cuz i never use my ps3 for any movies accept youtube.  another that no   bd movies or no dvds for me /////  i dont get it how   do they know how many people use   it for movies  or gaming ?  thas impossible ... 

Yo Psu wats happenin...lovin de job u's are doin wit this site. Nothin really to say about this article. Gingo RULES!!!

i never rely on a damn survey

It only makes sense. Looking at the numbers worldwide it would be hard to believe that BR was selling so well unless it was thanks to the PS3.

I really want to buy some blu-ray's and play them on my PS3. But sadly i havent, due to me not having an hdtv yet.

Never utilized my ps3 console to view Blu-Ray movies :)

Sony Did not want to loose the format war again so included blu ray in the PS3 it goes to prove they have learned from the Betamax V's VHS war.

Wise move by SOny

You can always buy the BDs now, and watch it now then later in high-def.

i dont use my ps3 for blu-ray movies... yet i just got an hd tv :)

Never watched a BR movie on mine. But I don't have an HD TV. Yet...

not using your ps3 to play BD's is more ridiculous than McDonalds blaming videogames for obesity.

Games and Movies

Plain & Simple

Ive watched 3 BLU-Ray movies on mine and have bought 2.  I use the internet on my PS3 daily!! I wish gamefly offered movies as well as games-  I would watch more BR then..

go blu

Blu-ray had better win soon this war cause i´m tired of waiting to buy a blu-ray player. With only one format prices will drop and all movies will be availble for BR. I will probably buy a PS3

I never use my PS3 for watching Blu Ray. But I will when I start getting them...

I already have tons of Blu-ray havent bought a single dvd since i bought my PS3 in 2006.

once you go watch and hear Blu-ray you will never go back to dvd.

I don't even own a PS3 yet and I have 4 BR movies that I watch on my cousin's PS3 or my buddies Blu-Ray player, I have a PS3 in my home so I'm not that crazy...but I did buy GH3 and Rock Band for PS3 and I still don't have one.

Soon the prices will drop for the BDs because HD-DVD is scr3wed.. Specially after Paramount switches to BDs which will inevitably happen... Found This on Yahoo.com- http://tech.yahoo.com/blogs/null/64393

According to the Financial Times, Paramount has a clause in its contract with the HD DVD camp allowing it to switch to Blu-ray in the event that Warner was to do so. And exercising that clause is what's about to happen. It's also theorized that DreamWorks will follow Paramount, since the studios are closely tied together.

i own 5 blu-rays and a lot more to come.

But,but,but, only 34% ppl know that the ps3 can play blu-rays.Kinda wierd how majority of the ps3 owners don't even know their console plays blu-rays,but they still use it to watch blu-rays.lol

once you pop ur blue ray cherry you'll never go back to dvd!! trust me

AMAZING quality

Anyone can make up false statistics.... 79% of all people know that! :)

PS3 upscales DVD's,plays divx now and Blu-Ray.How much more can you ask for in a console?I love my PS3 and what they're doing with the system is so amazing.Sony forever,all hail Sony. :)

There just is no excuse to own a ps3 and not watch bluray movies on it, I mean Blockbuster video and Netflix offer BD rentals. It's true what they sy you know, Once you go Blu, you never turn back. I won't watch any movies on DVD anymore if there is a blu-ray version available, it is that much better.

You'd be a fool to own a PS3 and a HD tv and NOT take advantage by getting atleast one Bluray movie. Yeah the prices are high but you just have to watch for deals like the amazon buy one get one free sale,

blu ray = future dvd

I use my PS3 to watch all my normal DVD's and my 4 Blu-Ray DVD's now. I also play all my music through it also. What a fabulous piece of kit the PS3 trully is!

I bet this shuts up everyone that said, not too long ago mind you, that "nobody that owns a PS3 watches movies with it."

This is no surprise if Blu-Ray is outselling HD-DVD media 2:1.

Talk about a "DUH" article! Why do you think studios are moving to Blu-ray? Why do you think Blu-ray  out sells HD by such a wide margin?! It's because it's included in the PS3. This is exactly how Sony stomped Sega and the Dreamcast, because of it's DVD player included in the PS2. If it were not for the PS3, Blu-ray would be on it's deathbed. HD-DVD is a great product, but for studios, it's not about which is the better format... it's about numbers, and DUH... Blu-ray has the numbers.

Im going to watch Shooter on Blu Ray right now. I rented that. And i bought Cars today. And probably Pan's Labrynth ill buy tomorrow

I rent occasionally but I won't buy until I get my HDTV.

I don't know about servey's credibility but. I use my ps3 for games and watch blu ray movies. I have a 52 sony plasma + Klipsch sound system, I enjoy watch high definition on my blu ray player oops ps3.

The way i see it Sony might win a format war that will never make them any real money at the expense of losing a console war that surely would have been profitable.

The HD formats in my view will only ever be a stopgap, the market's not ready to leave DVD so soon and before they have any penetration digital downloads and possiblely a superior disc format will be on the horizon.

Those who believe that consumers are just waiting for a clear format winner before flocking to throw out their DVD collections and replace them all with HD may be disapointed. For the niche market that is interested in HD, it is important to note two things: (1) These consumers did not abandon HD-DVD as they purchased a big portion of players (2) The reason offered by Warner Bros was that the US economy was slipping and the fear that any further delays in launching HD would cause the industry to fail. The US is going into a resession and that's not the time to try selling expensive luxuries. Warner did not abandon HD-DVD because it was technologicaly infereior infact Warner could well have gone the other way.

Lots of us who browse tech websites may be interested in all the latest technologies but i'm not convinced that joe public is ready to take out another morgage on their home and upgrade their home entertainment system any time soon. Good luck Sony, but I'd like to see more attention given to games and winning the console war.

Anyway these are my thoughts, only time will tell

@ the cleaner..."cleaner" you are so full of FUD even after  your precious hddud has lost!

Blu-ray is and has been winning the whole time!! The consumer so far has chosen Blu-ray. hddud was never going to be good enough compared to Blu-ray.

You keep spreading your Fud around expecting somebody to bite. Guess what, nobody is biting or buying your BS.

And as for the console wars.....don't you worry about  that...PS3 will be on TOP and will make a profit (unlike your precious M$)  (Who's $ along with the huge Toshiba company couldn't buy Warner/New Line)   hahahahahahahah

Blu-ray will be a big $ generator for Sony and the BDA, don't you worry about that one either.

You are a joke cleaner, that is all.

Nobody is listening to you

BLU-RAY ROCKSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

and so does PS3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, Could you please turn that down tru blu?

The Cleaner, No one says the adoption is going to be over night but when there is only one format left after the prices go down it is enevitable.

Lets compare this to DVD's. DVD's launched in 96 and really didn't make a dent in VHS sales until 2000 and beyond. That year they finally managed to get the prices own to more reasonable level and then the PS2 and later the xbox helped push the format along. Believe it or not the younger generation will invest heavely in movies.... not as much as games but it is safe to call alot of gamers movie buffs as well.

So now we have two HD formats that have only been on the market for 2 years. No one in their right mind is expecting pure market penetration and this is even after amazing reductions in price by both sides.

What is this "blu ray"?  My PS3 can play movies?  And games?  I just thought I could make fancy photo slide shows on my hd-tv.

Its stupid not to see it as a blu-ray player. I mean thats what those deals were for?! Its making as much influence as its predecessor, PS2.

I use my PS3 for Blu-Ray and I dont buy DVD's anymore, Because i prefer the blu ;)
