Where can i buy thx or dts demo dvds?

Should I continue to buy DVDs or switch to Blu Ray Discs?

  • I really like to buy movies. I have like a TON of DVDs in my collection. A while back I got myself a PS3 and now I'm not sure whether I should continue to buy DVDs or switch to buying Blu Ray discs instead. I like to take my DVDs to my friends now and then so we can watch them. I suppose I COULD take my PS3 to their places if we wanted to watch my movies, but that's a bit of a hassle. On the other hand Blu Ray discs are superior in quality to DVDs, but this is basically just when it comes to big, epic movies, and not romantic/comedy/dramas. Another thing that makes me hesitant to switch is that I have read/heard a lot of conflicting reports saying that you shouldn't play DVDs on a Blu Ray player (even though you can), because DVDs spin faster than Blu Ray discs and this may damage my PS3. What do you think? What should I do?

  • Answer:

    If you have a large tv then I would go ahead and switch to the Blu Ray disc. I have stopped buying DVD movies for well over 4 years now. It will not do any damage to your PS3 by playing a DVD movie on it. Keep in mind that every blu ray disc player are capable of playing the dvd. Most manufacturer have stopped producing stand alone DVD player for that reason. Hope this will help you out.

I have never heard that DVD's will damage the PS3. Bit of an geek-myth if you ask me. I would buy new movies on BluRay and look for sales/deals to replace your library over time. BluRay actually looks superior for many types of movies, not just summer popcorn movies. Some of the Pixar animation disks are reference quality and great for showing off a properly calibrated HDTV. Just my advice.
