Question

Hi. If I put HD-DVD file (not HD DVD) in Play Station3 Harddisk, can I get a HD resoluiton from my television?

Answer 1

No, not really.  It might improve the quality a little, but the ability to display something in HD pretty much rests with the TV.

Answer 2

No - PS3 plays Blue-ray only in high def. YOu can watch regualr DVD's and Blue Rays only - hope that helps!

Answer 3

Not at the moment, it'll treat the HD file as an unknown type. But don't feel too let down, I imagine they'll come up with firmware upgrades for all major consoles such that they'll be cross compatible. Some devices might require new hardware though!

Answer 4

You will not be able to play it PS3 will not recognize the HD-DVD file from a disk or from it's hard drive, The HD-DVD is a proprietary format supported buy it's backers (Toshiba, Microsoft) only. Blue-Ray is the way, HD-DVD will not play.
