Some highlights:
According to the results, only 40% of PlayStation 3 owners polled were aware the machine had a Blu-ray player and about 50% of that number had popped in a Blu-ray movie during the last 10 times they turned on the machine -- the other half didn't use the feature.
Only 30% of Xbox 360 owners were aware of the HD graphics capabilities of the machine, whereas that number rises to 50% with PS3.
Basically, this article shows how little people know about secondary features of their systems. I find it sad that most individuals dont care enough to read what is right there on the console's box. Still, this does show that when people are buying a gaming console, they are buying it for games and not for some other features. Or maybe the general public is simply not prepared for HD-gaming? Perhaps, this is one of the reasons why PS3 and 360 are not doing so well compared to a more general public friendly wii?
P.S.
If somebody already posted this article, I would like to apologize in advance and ask mods to lock this thread and send me straight into 7th circle of hell.
