The difference between movies on Bluray and movies on dvd is like looking through piece of glass at a sculpture versus looking through a sheet of water at a sculpture. Bottom line, BR discs store up to five times more data than a dvd and therefore higher picture quality and sound quality can be enjoyed. To me, watching a bluray that I have already seen on dvd before is like watching the movie for the first time all over again.
Watching some of those really old movies, like Robin Hood or the Wizard of Oz - Well, it’s like I’ve never seen them before. They are magnificent on Blu-ray.
I have a PS3. I highly recommend it. Not only is it a great blu-ray player, it does such a great job of interpreting movies that even regular DVDs look so much better than they ever did.
It costs a touch of cash, but we got ours used from someone, haven’t regretted it. Not a day goes by we don’t use it. It’s been worth every cent.
Plus, netflix gives you a free disc - put it in the PS3 and it streams netflix.
