He probably has non-us region encoded bluray/dvd discs. @easypeasy: I think the reason quantize was saying his bluray/dvd discs won’t work in the ps3 is because they are of different regions.

VHS with ok picture and 8 hrs tape time in very low resolution. Betamax dies. Now Sony has the higher resolution Blue ray with over DOUBLE the cost of std. DVD (which can usually upconvert with most cheap DVD players to decent pic. quality. Rentals, streaming downloads and a little piracy for several years time are just NOW being seen by their exec's? Remember the past SONY...just because your product is slightly better dosent mean it's not doomed. So, in the 80′s Sony held the superior picutre Betamax (with less record time per tape) vrs.

I was very tempted to by a PS3 (which Sony have been bundling with a dual digital TV tuner at a good price for favored retailers) but then ( realised all my Amazon bought discs wont play in it...we're too used to region free players to be manipulated by this region rubbish and pricing. They think because they can control the game market they can do the same with films. It simply wont work.
