Question

Can you watch regular dvds on the 40G ps3 or just blu ray?

Answer 1

the upconvert is pretty amazing.  you really don't need Blu-Ray, you can just pay half the price for a DVD and watch it on hi-def.  it looks *almost* the same :P

Answer 2

yes you can. PS3 rules, it plays them all

Answer 3

Yes, it will even upconvert them to High Definition

Answer 4

Hi. Cobra is totally right. The PS3 can play ALL DVD's as well as Blu-ray discs. I wanted to add one thing. As Cobra mentioned, the PS3 does upscale regular DVD's all the way up to 1080p, which is great. Just remember that you need an HDMI cable, or you can use an HDMI to DVI cable, to display a 1080p signal. PS3 games will play up to 720p with a regular Component Cable, but Blu-ray REQUIRES an HDMI cable to run at Hi-Def (720p, 1080i, 1080p) due to DRM restrictions. Bottom line, if you have an HDTV, which you likely do, make sure you hook up your PS3 through HDMI or HDMI to DVI. Good luck!!!
