Ps3 Owners Do Buy Blu Movies - Page 4 - Blu-ray Forum

4saken · 01-10-2008, 12:58 PM

I bought a PS3 at launch and have since sold my DVD collection, except for season sets and trilogy collections such as Star Trek, Star Wars, LOTR, etc.

I only have about 55-+ Blu-Ray movies but i do continue to buy a few every month at a minimum. Once standalone players drop to under 200 bucks, I will be purchasing one for the bedroom as well.

PS3 owner since Dec 06. I have 13 Games and 46 Movies (another 6 on order).
PS3 is the best equipment for my home and I would recommend it to any person looking for a solid BD player with a gaming bonus.

lilboostedscooby · 01-10-2008, 02:14 PM

yes more blu rays then games

cpgator · 01-10-2008, 02:29 PM

I am completely shocked to find out that most PS3 owners on Blu-ray.com use it for watching Blu rays. Shocked I tell ya!

uniquetreatone · 01-10-2008, 10:16 PM

I figure even gamers buy movies considering because what else are they going to do until the next big game title is released.

I might only have 11 Blu-ray discs but thats the main reason I paid for my PS3and the reason I only have 11 is because there isnt many I really want as of right now. Dont get me wrong I am a gamer but MOVIES come first and I have bought 11 since November. All it matters is that im on the Blu side and I will buy more with a Blu-ray disc player when a very, very, good player comes out this year.

toocheezy · 01-11-2008, 05:47 AM

I bought 9 blurays this month alone, and I am waiting to buy more next week.

true2_blu · 01-11-2008, 09:29 AM

To me that was one of the main selling factors of the PS3, a built in Blu ray player, when the PS3 was first launched, Blu ray standalone players were close to a grand. I figure, the PS3 is a bargain because it plays games and BD's for $600. A no brainer for me. Lately I find myself watching BD's more than I play PS3 games.

Almost forgot to add my latest acquisition to my dvd spot collection, 3:10 to Yuma. Gotta keep my PS3 well fed.

Edit: Just bought another....Shoot 'em up. Wife is gonna kill me.

BigFoot · 01-11-2008, 10:51 AM

I've had my PS3 for about three months now and I own 20 Blu-rays. So yeah, I definitely buy Blu movies.

Jonezzee · 01-11-2008, 11:26 AM

i only had 7 blu films last week, i now have 22, Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind just came in the post along with The Prestige... yey for me.

My misses can finally tell the diffrence so she dosent say why aint you buying me anything when i buy my blu, because she believes all ym blu are hers too... women.

I initially purchased my ps3 for the Blu-ray player then got into the games later. I was a 360 fan-boy.....still am but now I also greatly appreciate the ps3.

Patranus · 01-11-2008, 07:47 PM

I just picked up a PS3. It is an amazing Blu-Ray player.
Everything looks sharp.
The menus are quick and load times are short.

My only complaint is that it does not have built in IR. That problem was fixed with a PS3/IR/USB receiver from Fry's Electronics for $14. A quick setup in my Harmony 890 and I was good to go.

Contrary to everything people(HD-DVD) say, I bought it as a media(Blu-Ray/Media Server) player first and a gaming system second.

It has a much better feature set when compared to the xBox 360 except for the market place. All I had to do was run HDMI and power to the thing and it just worked. It set its self up, connected to Wi-Fi and I was up and running.

Now, what will I do with my trusty BD-P1000? It has played my 200+ BD titles with out any problems. I kinda feel sad not using it. I have yet to remove it from its home and may leave it there until I need another HDMI input.

gordon cunningham · 01-11-2008, 07:48 PM

i originally bought my ps3 as a Blu-ray player as im not really into gaming. then i purchased twonki media so i can stream all my music off my imac via my surround sound system. (this is great by the way) and only recently ive started playing games on it. (COD4)

what a brilliant system for me (3 for1)

The Bear · 01-11-2008, 07:53 PM

I Own 2 PS3's UK 60gb & US 40gb I Have About 5 Games But I Own About 330 Plus Blu-Rays I Use Both My PS3's As Blu-Ray Players First And For most.

GarettP · 01-11-2008, 08:10 PM

I've got 21 in about 367 days, if budget wasn't as tight, it would at least be double that!
