there is a pretty big differance in most blueray movies and upscaled dvd's some of the older movies that were put in blueray aren't that great but the new ones are awesome. and also, blueray players also upscale regular dvd's so you can't really go wrong with blueray if you really like your movies like me. I got the ps3 because it plays blueray and has great graphics on the games. and costs the same as just a blueray player. it also has an internet browser and wi-fi.
