I think I read in some reviews that the PS3 performed as good or better than some of the more expensive Blu-ray players.

Doesnt expecting the unexpected make the unexpected expected and therefore mean youre expecting the expected which was the unexpected until you expected it?

Could you point me in the direction of your seller? I've been itching to buy whatever is available among my favourites, but am on a tight budget.

Sorry if this has been offtopic.

I'd said screwed those damn expensive ($800 - $1K) Blu-ray players.

I'm one happy PS3 60GB owner here, not to mentioned I can enjoy Blu-ray movies via my PS3 and 55" Widescreen SONY HDTV (fully supported 720p and 1080i with Progressive Scan + DRC).

WARNING: Do not "update/upgrade" your SAMSUNG BD-D5XXX series (Bluray Player), or else you cant enjoy any of your movie files.

Good thing the PS3 does play BluRay cause I dont think you would have money left over for a BluRay player.

Can you provided the info or that Blu-ray movies forum by chance? Because if it's only $15 for a DVD/movie, then I would never want to spend the times to backup ever. Well not at least until Blu-ray burners are $100 and Blu-ray disc are $5 each.

I think he meant form.When you got your PS3 Alkohol there was a little booklet in side that was small & lite Blue it had 10 Blu-ray movie mail-in rebate slips inside.10 dollars each but if you read the booklet it say that you cant send all 10 rebate slips at one time.Also you got to send in a copy of your recipt




Microsoft: Ps3 cant do 60fps on 1080p. Guess what they were WRONG!!!!!
(11/19/05 - 9/19/06) Microsoft: Sony's 1080p support on PS3 is all Hype and Not Needed.
(9/20/06) Microsoft: Xbox 360 to add 1080p support.

So is it only at Best Buy where you have the option of buying a Blu-ray movie at $15 a piece? Does it have to be at the time of purchase a playstation 3? thx

No this booklets should be in side your PS3 when you got it.You can buy them anytime.But i think the booklets said that the rebate runs out in 08.
