I’m not too sure or clear about the Blu-ray DVD players and the technology that comes with them. I don’t own a Blu-ray player yet, but I have a feeling I will be getting one in the near future. Do you own a Blu-ray player or movie now? Perhaps you can shed some light on this tech-gadget for movies and video games.

Once I order one of these Blu-ray gadgets; what’s the next step I should do? Do I go buy or rent Blu-ray movies, because the regular DVD movies won’t play on this DVD player? Or can people still play their old DVD movies on something like a new Panasonic Blu-ray DVD Player? Any help would be great, because I’m a little sketchy on the information I have been able to find online for the Blu-ray movie players. It looks like most of these Blu-rays go for about $150 to $250. What’s the advantages to buying the more expensive ones or the disadvantages to buying a cheap Blu-ray DVD player? I know this would help other online shoppers that are looking for a sale on a Blu-ray.

Another benefit to owning a Blu-ray player is that it works with a Sony Playstation 3 console. Do consumers need to buy a Sony Blu-ray player for it be compatible? Or does all Blu-ray players work with the PS3? I don’t have the PS3 system either, but if I get the Blu-ray player, I might just go ahead and get the most I can from this exciting new technology. It would seem the Panasonic Blu-rays would work or any other companies that produce and sell Blu-ray systems.

From what I have been able to learn about Blu-ray players, is that the discs can hold a lot more information than our older discs can. This extra storage space is needed, since we now have a lot of high definition or HD movies coming out. Maybe the DVD players we own now, can’t play these movies that are in HD. In some cases, they may be able to play them, but the TV viewer wouldn’t be the gettng the crispness and sharpness that comes with HD technology. For people that want the true experience of HD technolgy, they must have a TV with HD capabilities first. A converter box would be needed to watch HD programming from your cable or satellite provider. If you have a DVD that is in high definition and you want to watch it properly on your HD TV; then it would take a Blu-ray DVD player to give you this experience. People seeking to take advantage of HD quality movies and to get the most out of their Playstation3 games, they will want to buy a DVD player that has Blu-ray technology.
