I didn't know PS3 played Blu-Ray until after I had purchased the disk
players, *mentioned the issues to my daughter and she informed me about PS3
which she has for her two boys. * I have no interest in video games, so it
didn't occur to me to even check them out. *Except .... * due to the
discussion, she let me borrow their "Wii" system. *What a blast!
You hold a controller in your hand and physically go through the motions of
bowling or swinging a baseball bat, golf club, tennis racket, etc. * I got a
kick out of it.


Back to Blue-Ray. * Does the Playstation 3 also play regular DVDs and CDs?
Also, my daughter said it had operational issues similar to those I've
experienced with the Sharp and Sony players when playing a Blu-Ray disk.
I know the Blu-Ray disks hold a huge amount of data compared to regular DVD.
I wonder if finding, reading and displaying the data is the reason for it's
slow motionness.


Yes, the PS3 playes regular DVDs and CDs. *Tell your daughter to make
sure she has the latest update to the PS3 OS. *You have to connect it
to the internet and let it update itself. *I know one of the updates
dealt with giving the BluRay player more capability to deal with newer
discs.

Hey, tell us how you let some people stay at your Florida home after
Katrina. Then tell us how you don't know crap about Florida's
Homestead Exemption Act because you haven't had a house there in
"years". Then tell us about the condo you own......
Then tell us about your lobster boat
Then tell us about your double Dr. wife
Then tell us about your Yale degree.
