You know those conversations... - Blu-ray Forum

The ones where all you can do is just smile and nod...
I was at Blockbuster and someone spotted me in the Hi Def section. Well he wanted to talk about typical HD talk (what player I have,format war, etc.) and he said he has a PS3 too, and he "claims" to have rigged it so that the drive will play HD DVD movies as well as Blu Rays. I asked how he did it, and he told me he has a friend that is really into computers, and he fixed it up for him.

Well, as far as I know this cannot (and should not) be done. Anyhoo, all I could do is just smile and nod.

I have met and talked to those types before, albeit very briefly and never about the format war. Just a clown wanting to impress.

You can rig your original Xbox to play PS1, N64, SNES, NES, Genesis and Atari games. I've done it before.

Phane · 12-28-2007, 12:36 AM

It can be done... just use your PC to rip the HD-DVD and burn it onto a BD-R... and presto, you can play an HD-DVD on your PS3.

The PS3 can play HD DVD Combos*

* Note: You may need to boil the disc first. Not sure if that will help them play in the PS3 but it apparently has worked on occasion in Toshita players.
