Default PS3 Owners

Do you also watch Blu-ray movies on your PS3?

you bet.

the only reason I watch Blu-ray is because it's included on the machine h:

Otherwise, I could give a rat's ass about next gen disc formats.

:yes: only if you have the supporting TV of course.

If you're not running the perfect specs (HDMI, 720p compatible screen, etc), then it's pointless.




also, remember ... there are limitations on movies. Camera's used to film weren't setup for this high of a resolution. You might actually make things look worse in some cases by exploiting flaws in older technology.

they should be fairly distributed now.

I'm not saying their shelf warmers, but I think stores are clearing out their shipments within a few days time.

They are all over the place around here. I walk into any store and can find at least 3 on the shelves.
