Forums - Sony - How many of you bought a PS3 just because it has Blu-ray

Well I bought it over the 360 because it has Blu-ray. I still want to play the games that come out on it one of them being GTA4.

Blu-ray helped, but it wasn't the deciding factor.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

I bought the PS3 just because of the games that will be released in the coming years. I could care less about Blu-ray. It was more of a add-on for me. I only have one Blu-ray movie and thats SuperBad.

The prices for the Blu-ray's are high when you compare it to original DVD's. I still buy DVD's movies and I might get Blu-ray's, once I find out Smallville and several other series move to the format.

I bought it for games, but I mostly use it for blu-rays now since I love movies.

since people who buy PS3 for Blu-Ray won't be in this forum in the first place. That's like asking oversee citizen to have an in-person vote.


 Exactly...

I doubt someone who bought a PS3 for Blu-ray only would even be in this forum, let alone vote.

 Although I have to say, if anyone is interested in a blu-ray player, PS3 is the best choice for them.

 I own more than 10 blu-Ray disc, and I have my external harddrive attached to it and watch my Divx movies on my big screen tv. But, foremost, it is STILL a game console. All other features are just a nice bonus

I mainly use it for Blu Ray. Sometimes I download games - but I use the Blu Ray for both games and movies :P I'm just an optical disc gamer :D

End of 2011 Sales: Wii = 90mil, 360 = 61mil, PS3= 60mil

I mainly use mine for games. Believe it or not, the Ratchet and Clank series was the tipping point for me; if MS had that, I would have gone with the 360.
