    Do you use your PS3 to watch Blu-Ray discs?

    Since getting my PS3 I have bought around fifteen Blu-Ray discs. The most recent being Batman Begins earlier this month.

    I have it so might as well.  I don't go out of my way to find them, though, since the PS3 does a damn good job of upscaling DVDs to 1080p that unless it's a movie that's really visually stunning, I don't have a format I prefer.  Zip (Canadian version of Netflix) has an option for you to automatically recieve Blu-ray discs if it's available for anything on your list, so I clicked that.

    Right now it's nice that the ps3 has the option to play them, but the offer and pricing over here (Netherlands) just doesn't feel right. Especially since the DVD playback on the ps3 works like magic.
    There is a real diffrence in quality compared to for instance my 360 on the same tv.

    As soon as there are more titles avalible for decent pricing, I'll switch in a heartbeat, but until then....

    No I don't use it yet. DVD's are still cheaper than Blu-rays and the quality isn't that much different visually. I will wait a while till I start buying Blu-rays. Until they are equal with DVD's pretty much.

    I am just happy that Blu-ray format won the war, I was not wanting to buy anything during that time because I wasn't sure who was going to win.

    I use the PS3 as a media device for downloaded movies though (uh-oh lol). I only download stuff if I can't find it anywhere else... mostly band movies that suck anyways lol

    I use it for blu-ray as well as gaming. If I am purchasing a movie I will get a blu-ray over DVD. I also have netflix so I only rent blu-rays. I already have a lot of DVD's which I don't plan on double dipping for a blu-ray version. The price is higher but so was DVD when they first came out. My wife can tell when we aren't watching a blu-ray so I don't have to fight or explain why blu-ray is the better choice for our situation.

    I have a Netflix account so I just rent most of my blu-rays. I do, however, own a few. I own Weeds season 3 and Priates 2 and 3.

    I'm with Achan on this one. Blu-rays are still way to expensive and since I enjoy watching movies from time to time also on my laptop, going with DVD for now is the best choice for me at the moment.

    I also only have one disc, the fact that I pop in a bluray and the same movie on dvd in my 720p it looks sorta the same cause the PS3 kicks ass with upscaling. If I put in a dvd on my dvd player the difference between ddvd playback is staggering! But I wouln't really recommend Bluray unless you got kickass sound or a 1080p so there's actually a difference.

    Well even on SD, Blu-ray discs look better then DVD, because the source has less compression thus does not pixelate, band or artifact. It's just that you won't be seeing it in 1080P.

    Got my PS3 Holiday 2007, I own 35 BD titles. (10 came free with my PS3 purchase from Walmart) I absolutely love the jump in PQ, and have definitely used my console more for viewing films than playing games at this point. You have to be careful picking BD titles, a growing number have  been heavily processed to remove grain from the picture (called DNC), RUINING the the picture detail. Seriously, 40 year old movies without DNC look better than 10 year old titles with DNC. A lot of people want a speck-free image from blu-ray, just like lots of people wanted to get rid of black bars from widescreen DVDs.  Both lose lots of screen information.

    ........Anyways, sorry for the rant.Blu-Ray is awesome, and deserved to win over HDDVD, (even though my HDDVD now stutters and my 20+ HDDVDS are now worthless AND unplayable)
    I cant wait for the next wave of superhero titles on BD:Iron Man, Incredible Hulk, Dark Knight, and Hellboy 2 are all going to kick ass.

    I don't own a PS3 yet.  I'm going to wait until the fall and will probably end up snagging both a PS3 and a standalone Blu-Ray player, only because I game and watch TV on different displays in different rooms.

    So far my PS3 is almost exclusively a blu-ray player.  I own two games for my PS3 - Metal Gear Solid 4 and Gran Turismo 5 Prologue.  I look forward to some of the future exclusives coming to the system, but in general still use my 360 for multi-platform games.  I just can't get away from my Gamertag - points and the Live! community are simply more addictive than trophies so far.

    That doesn't mean my PS3 goes unused.  Lately it's been on more than my 360.  I love watching blu-rays on my 60', 1080p tv!  They're simply amazing!  I don't really seeing myself buying too many other DVD's from this point on...

    I use Netflix to get Blu Ray disks at times, but find it kind of annoying that I can't watch the disks on anything but my PS3, and since I spend a lot of time away from home and on the road, I'd much rather get movies in DVD format so I can either leave them in a DVD player at home connected my locationfree player or just take them along and watch them on my laptop or in a portable DVD player.

    Well I'm assuming that you don't have an HDTV, or else you wouldn't be saying that. However because Blu-ray is a high quality source, even if you watch it in SD you will be getting a better picture then DVD because you won't have compression problems, such as artifacts, banding, pixelation, and so on.

    I sold my PS3 (stupid move, I know), but kept my Blu-Ray movies. My girlfriend has a PS3, so I can watch stuff at her place for the time being. I'm hoping to talk to my friend into selling his PS3--which he never uses, not for games or movies--to me on the cheap.

    I rent blu-ray movies if there's a blu-ray version of a movie I want to watch.  Don't go particularly out of my way, though.

    Yep!! I blu-ray, but not that often. Not sure how much more blu-raying I'll be doing now that the Video Site has launched.
    Of Course, I'm going to need a larger Hard Drive before I take full advantage of the feature. lol

    i do own a hi-def tele, i just dont see the point in paying 4x as much money for a movie, just because its on a blu-ray disc and hi-def... i love watching 4.0 in HD but when i can get a DVD for a fraction of the price why would i go for the more expensive one?
