A quick question about the PS3 blu-ray drive?

May be...

How does the quality of HD movies played on the ps3 hold up with those played on Blu-ray only players? Is there a notable difference? And if I play a standard definition dvd on the ps3 will the quality be unconverted to 1080p like those other blu-ray players do? Thanks to all who answered.

They are the same, and in fact, because the PS3 is the first Blu-ray player on the market, the PS3 gets any and all updates before any stand alone Blu-ray player does (PS3 was first to have BD-Live). The PS3 also has every Blu-ray feature possible (not all stand alone Blu-ray players have every feature).



The PS3 does up-convert all DVD movies, just like an up-convert DVD player or stand alone Blu-ray player does.



The PS3 is the best Blu-ray player on the market, and oh yeah, it plays games, too, along with a whole lot of other stuff.

if someone on here tells you that there is not a noticable difference and that makes you not end up getting a PS3 or a blu-ray disc player u will be kicking yur self for ages after trust me wen they say the picturs is 5x better and the soundis 8x better they mean it i went to my grannys the other day and my cousin ut on pirates ofthe carribean 3 on and it was a blu-ray and it was practically picture perfect

ps3 is one of the best blu-ray players on the market

it can upscale dvd to 1080p

also ps3 can play cd, dvd and of course blu-ray
