Question

Can the ps3 console play hd movies as well as blu_ray?TY!?

Answer 1

OK, I think you are asking if the PS3 will play HD-DVD movies and the answer is no. But it doesn't matter because HD-DVD is dead (both players and movies are no longer made), and Blue-Ray is the HD movie format.

HD-DVD was a different format on a 20GB disk and Blue-Ray and it's 50GB disk is not compatible with HD-DVD.

HD-DVD was a Toshiba design in conjunction with Microsoft and Paramount pictures and a couple of others. Blue-Ray is a Sony technology based on a larger disk and different encoding than HD-DVD, but like I said HD-DVD is no longer made.

Blue-Ray is the disk format for HD movies and is HD, full 1080p HD.

Answer 2

It doesn't matter if HD-DVD is dead or not, you can not play those on a ps3 console, you can only play Standard DVD's and Blu Ray.

Answer 3

Well, I know that it plays DVD's, so I think you can play HD DVD's.
