liars! isn't the ps3 the most popular? so they must have meant the 2nd & 3rd most popular players!i dont know anyone that bought a ps3 for games specifically! every one i now bought the one upgradeable BR player with video game as a bonus feature!
Naw I'm still a prude at this point. I've been managing with my dvds for a while now. I'm always on the go, so I usually rip my dvd to my ipod after I buy it, and watch it on the subway. Just bought Iron man, waiting for it to encode. Until I can burn a blank BR disk, buy a pack of them for 19.99, and a player for 100$ I'll just wait.
