[QUOTE="Curtis Guise, post: 875649, member: 4"] The PS3 has been one of the best Blu-Ray players in the market for along time. Not sure if it still is but all the tech/geek shows I have seen have always said that. One reason is because of all the updates it receives when connected to the internet. I know some of the other players can get updates also. Randy, Blu-Ray is the type of disc that HD content is released on. Blu-Ray is not it's own format, although there are some consumer cameras that shoot HD to Blu-Ray discs. Movies that are shot on 35mm film (I assume Step into liquid was) can be transferred to Blu-Ray and look allot better than a DVD. Same as movies shot in HD that are released in Blu-Ray. 35mm can have the same or larger resolution than HD. It all depends on how its shot and transferred. Blu-Ray displays 720 or 1080 content (the two HD resolutions). Initially there were allot of movies that had crappy transfers to Blu-Ray but I think most of them are good now. You can probably do a search online before buying a movie. Patrick Norton (pphat) is on here and he hosts a couple of tech shows. They just started a new one called HD Nation.
