When Blu-ray was battling HD-DVD for the High Definition supremacy, Sony sided with Blu-ray. Going as far as integrating the Blu-ray format into it’s newest gaming console, the PlayStation 3. It was a very good decision given that Blu-ray came out on top and Sony was left with possible the best Blu-ray Player on the market.


One reason it is considered the best is the PlayStation’s limited expansion capability. The PlayStation you purchased 6 months ago, will not be the same one 6 months from now. Via downloadable software updates or firmware, the PlayStation 3 can gain new features and functions all within the touch of a button. New and advanced features are seemly being created every week for the Blu-ray Player and the Blu-ray format. Its BD-Live technology is growing and promises to widely expand the movie viewing experience through online content. Becoming interactive and featuring text chat and live commentary. With its all powerful internal processor, large hard drive and great technical support, the PlayStation 3 will be first inline to take advantage and add all of these new features.

Playstation has also recently join forces with Netflix, so online media services such as movie streaming is available.

Nainan Shah, who is Vice-President of new platform, planning and development at Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, said “PS3 users worldwide will only need to upgrade the PS3 system software via the internet and there is no need to repurchase the system to enjoy 3D games.” Of course, Sony is also working with the Blu-ray Disc Association to release 3D Blu-ray Movies and players. For Playstation 3 owners, they will not have to invest in purchasing any new equipment, they will just have to update their system once it becomes available. Making the Playstation 3 one of the first 3D players on the market. And there are likely to be more adaptions to come in the future. Making an initial investment of $300.00 all the more prudent.
