Stupidest Question Ever!!!

[skc087]

I recently purchased a PS3, and own about 20 Bluray dvds. I heard from a friend that the PS3 plays both Bluray and HD dvds. I was 100% certain that the PS3 only plays Bluray movies but after talking to him now I am only 99% sure. I don't want to go out and purchase a HD dvd and find out I was right all along. So, my question is

Does the PS3 play both BLURAY and HD or just BLURAY?
Thanks

Well, if there is no such thing as a stupid question at the moment then this one is pretty darn close. In fact, it could be close enough to actually be used to create an official definition which would then turn the concept into a feasible mainstream application.

Before I get roasted, just remember that I only said that it's "close" to being a stupid question. I didn't label it as such.

Just Blu-ray playa...just Blu-ray!

It plays HD-DUD every other week only - gee LOL of course it does NOT play HD-DVD, only BLU-RAY

Only Blu Ray. Sony would be stupid to back the other side as well. After being one of the major developers of Blu.

I've heard the PS3 is capable of playing HD-DVD's with a simple firmware update, anyone know if this is true? ...not that I want it to play HD-DVDs, but I've heard this from 2 people already.

Someone asked me this also. I eventually told him that it doesn't work, it's like trying to play an xbox game on a playstation.

YOU CAN'T LEARN UNLESS YOU ASK QUESTIONS. So it isn't a stupid question. The PS3 plays DVD AND BLURAY. Definitely Not HDDVD.
