This is very true. Regardless of what other people say, I do believe the PS3 is better strictly as a media hub.


Because of the PS3 I dont buy DVD's anymore, just nothing but Blu Rays. A movie has to be old and untouchable on Blu Ray format for me to buy a DVD to upscale on my PS3. First time I saw Zombie Land on my PS3...soooooooooooooo crisp! Its addictive how beautiful it was. Theres always a ton of bonus things in the special edition Blu Rays and even the normal Blu Rays because of how much space it holds. You get the truer experience behind the making of the films.

I actually have some questions regarding Blu-ray. I've only ever watched one movie (300 on a 80 or so inch HDTV) and I remember it not being as amazing as everyone said it would be, I think someone said the grainy look of it made a less apparent difference to the DVD version but I'm not sure if that is the case. Does the quality of Blu-ray vary? Also I recently bought the Hunger Games in HD on Xbox Live and I can't imagine it looking any better than that (It's as good as the best movie theater screen I've seen). Is Blu-ray about the same quality of full HD movies?


Has everything to do with the type of TV, brand and how old your Blu-ray player is. Could you fill in those gaps ? My reasoning behind it is because the difference between Blu-ray normal HD and SD is definitely like night and day. Also, Blu-ray looks different depending on the type of TV. One of my friends bought a Samsung Blu Ray player and because his need to game has caught up with him he picked up a PS3 (I got grilled about the 3D capabilities before he bought it). The 3D movie/ game experience is also bar none on the PS3. 

Have No idea what type of TV (I think it was a slightly older TV cause this was back in early 2008 and they had it for a while before that) it was but it was on a PS3. I'm sorry though I just can't believe that HD (I'm not talking about Netflix "HD") and Blu-ray have a night/day difference. How does Blu-ray compare to the best movie theater screens? Because those are picture perfect, and unbelievably crisp (which is what Hunger Games in HD looks like on my TV)

Either way I'll have to try to get my cousin to bring his PS3 over and watch a blu-ray on it. What would you recommend? (something at Redbox preferably)
