I've been looking on ebay, and there are some PS3 format Blu-rays. Will they play on an ordinary blu-ray player? PC one in particular if that makes any difference...

Cheers,

A blue ray DVD is a blue ray DVD, so i cant see why not there play on another blue ray player that isnt a ps3

St3V3_C

That's what I thought, but they've actually got PS3 written on them

eg:

There was an advert that actually said "PS3 Blu-Ray disc"

So, I'm not as stupid as you look

Dude, 22nd??

That always used to crack me up even back in the PS2 days when they got the ability to play DVD's - you use to see DVD's with "PS2 compatible" wirtten on them and people got all confused and thought it was a special version for the PS2 and wouldn't play on normal players

Yeah Blu-Ray is Blu-Ray, it'll play in all Blu-Ray players, Blu-Ray PC drives, PS3's etc.....

Yeah but thats them promoting the PS3 as surprisingly not that many people realise it's also a BDP! So you put "PS3 BLU-RAY DISC" on it, and the people who own PS3's see it think "ooh, I'll buy that, it's a movie to play on my PS3"

Then after a short while they put up stupid threads on a forum about it

St3V3_C

Thing is I nearly didn't buy it thinking it wouldn't work, so the marketing got that a bit wrong...

so,

blue ray DVD's only work in blue ray drives and HD-DVD's only work in HD-DVD drives??

is that right???

Thrush

Yes. As far as I know, there is only one combi player, the LG BH-100 but it's stupidly expensive, and not sure if you can officially get it in the UK yet... I think there is be a combi drive for PC's, but thats about £650 or something daft like that....

Spiky

iTrader: (1)

not cheap then

Yes that's correct Steve.

All to do with certain movie studios selecting certain formats. Hence a nice war

Hold tight though as LG are releasing a Blue-Ray AND HD-DVD player all in one and it won't be (As Matt has said) a fuckin stupid price!

to be honest i wasn't planning to get one yet, i just bought (this week) a sony sorround system, with normal dvd drive, and will be happy with that for a few years or until HD is the norm

So does Blu-Ray play on a HD DVD player (such as the 360 upgrade etc).........

Or is it Sony trying to corner a market again

Munch

need a blue ray player jase


stop playing silly little games & get a PS3 you tight cunt!

Franco

Fuck that.............. They come down in price, then I will.

Until then, there's nowt wrong with the 360!

gingeRS

they have come down in price

at £299 there a f*ckin steal (esp as they have blue-ray drives)

Thrush

iTrader: (1)

Yeah thats where I am also. I'm not getting into the whole HD thing untill it all settles down and one is the clear victor. I don't fancy spending £500 on a decent player only to find a year or so later that it's gone the otherway

Plus I don't have a HD TV anyway, as I'm really not that fussed about it. Standard def DVD's look wicked on my TV, and SD-DVD's look better on SD-TV's than D-DVD's do on HDTV's

Munch

Tight cunt

you keep telling yourself there is nothing wrong with the 360.....


whats it called 3 rings of death?

Cheapest way to get HD-DVD in your house right now, is if you have a PC hooked up to your TV. You can buy the 360 HD-DVD drive, and plug it in via USB to the Pv and voila - HD-DVD on your TV

Toshiba HD-E1 will cost you at LEAST £180-£190, with most being around £200 to £220

HD-DVD drive add-on for the 360 is £99.99 from amazon

Got a PS3 today with my new phone Lee!

It was either that or a Wii.............. And all the new phones out seemed crap compared to the N95.

Blu ray here we come!
