People buy PS2s just for the DVD function? That's like buying a computer just for the CD player.

You didn't read my full statement. People use to buy the ps2 for the dvd player and to use when the kids are around to play games. :)
Actually, one reason the Playstation 2 did so well in Japan was that there weren't many (if any) low priced DVD players out there at the time of its launch. It's quite conceivable that some people bought it just for the DVD player, though much less likely in the US.
I didn't buy a dvd player because I had the playstation.
My parents did, but it's relegated to another room.
YAY i love being australian
exchange rates gone so much in our favour recently :)
50 000 YEN is ~US$476
but is ~$615 AUS :) This is good because ps2 release price was AU$750. Means its gone down tons :D. What is ps3 : ps2 release price ratio in america? In aus its 1 : 0.82
Sony's Blu-Ray technology allpws ps3 to burn dvds:D
According to current information, the PS3 will not burn DVDs. Simply because an A/V device has a blue laser doesn't automatically make it able to write discs.
However, seeing that Blu-ray is a new standard, just the fact the PS3 it plays blue laser discs means a lot. Not to mention that it also plays MP3, DVD, all blu-ray formats, and SACD. I'm not into consoles that much personally, but the PS3 media support alone makes me interested in getting one in the future.
wow it plays ps1 games
thumbs up
If Sony wanted.. they could put all the PS1 games on 10 blu-ray cd's and release them with the ps3.
mmmm, i will pay whoever much cash just to play DMC4
what i can say... ps3 is just great i hope that ps3 console beat xbox360...
It would take a lot more than 10. Keep in mind that 1 Blu-ray disc holds roughly 75 CD-ROM discs.Quote:
