Mikeisblu · 01-22-2008, 06:26 AM

I Do.I still buy movies for it to.and movies you can't get on Blu(1408,Transformers).

Thertel88 · 01-22-2008, 06:28 AM

I use my Ps3 and 360 for DVDs, but I do still have my Dvd recorder set up

Canada · 01-22-2008, 06:29 AM

Yes I have a DVD recorder so I have to. I don't use my Blu Ray Player to watch DVD's.

frenchglen · 01-22-2008, 06:31 AM

C'mon, what about when I want to watch Star wars and Lord of the Rings? Hmm, on second thought I've watched LOTR and had "extended LOTR marathons" so many times I think I'll be content to wait until it comes out on Blu-ray

- and the much-loved *orignal* Star Wars, well, no matter how long Lucas takes to release them, I might as well have a break from them too

w_tanoto · 01-22-2008, 06:33 AM

I got no more standalone DVD players/drives

All I got is 2 PS3 (BD drive) and 1 Panny UJ-210 drive BD-RE

bicclick2002 · 01-22-2008, 07:10 AM

I've been Blu exclusive since 2008. . . in other words no more DVDs for me

Thertel88 · 01-22-2008, 07:12 AM

Wow been awhile since you had dvd

Glorificus5884 · 01-22-2008, 07:13 AM

I'm keeping my region free dvd player. How else am I going to watch dvds from Japan and Europe? Actually, I haven't even watched them yet. Oh well.

CYMBOL · 01-22-2008, 07:19 AM

Nope. It was great when I got the PS3, cause I was able to get rid of my DVD player and PS2.

Better, I haven't "loaded" a CD in months since I know stream all my music from my computer.

The PS3 really helped clear some clutter and helped connect my other media devices into a hub - all viewed through my t.v. and heard on my home theater.

Very cool.

blindcat87 · 01-22-2008, 07:22 AM

I still use my DVD player. I have an Oppo and use it for DVDs, SACDs and DVD-As. I only use my PS3 for BDs and RCE protected DVDs since I have my Oppo running in region free mode. Since I have PAL DVDs from the UK, I will likely use my player for both music and movies for some time to come.

I basically only buy TV seasons on DVD now. The last exception was last week when I ordered the Family Guy Blue Harvest LE set. I keep telling myself that I bought a Family Guy Tshirt that happened to come with a free DVD.

Yes, my DVD player is region free while my PS3 is region 3 for DVDs. My online rental store stocks both region 1 and region 3 DVDs so I need a way to play the region 1 DVDs.

If I could get the PS3 to be region free for DVD, then I probably would use it exclusively for Blu-ray, DVD, SACD and CD playback.

kolasi · 01-22-2008, 07:43 AM

i still use my dvd player for all my dvds. it upconverts to 1080p so that works out. i just try to avoid my ps3 when i can cause it makes my room all hot.

snoborder351 · 01-22-2008, 07:51 AM

I still use mine but its an all in one system so i'd have to get new surround sound if i got rid of it. I use it more than the ps3 for movies, I only use the ps3 for Blu and movies that I really want to see upscaled.

Mordak5 · 01-22-2008, 08:12 AM

I still have my region free DVD player hooked up via component, as to be honest I cant see that the PS3 upscaler is any better than the DVD component and TV upscaler. so I use the DVD player for DVD's to save wear and tear on the PS3. (Could be my eyesight of course)

sAvAgE69 · 01-22-2008, 09:43 AM

Sure do have the the DVD Player setup. I wont be getting rid of that for a while.

Blu_Ray_UK2007 · 01-22-2008, 10:51 AM

Yes, as it's also my blu-ray player.

MacDaddyOJack · 01-22-2008, 11:34 AM

My lovely Onkyo DVD player is now sitting in the closet gathering dust!

Kierre · 01-22-2008, 11:46 AM

Where there is Blu, there is no DVD player (except for the Blu-Ray player itself). I have retired two DVD players thus far. The problem is that my wife wants a VCR connected, but I've been successfully dodging it so far.

bhampton · 01-22-2008, 11:50 AM

I sold an upconverting player to help pay for me ps3.

I still have a 5 disc dvd/cd/sacd/vcd player hooked up but only for sacd (for dvd it's not even progressive scan.)

blukrank · 01-22-2008, 11:51 AM

I still have a Sony DVD player hooked to my bedroom TV.My main TV all I have hooked to that is my PS3,Samsungs very first Blu-Ray player,a DVHS player and my Satellite reciver. The only thing I buy on DVD now is just TV shows.
