Optimizing Your PS3 for Blu-ray

Get the most out of your high-def experience with our comprehensive guide.
US, December 12, 2008 - The PlayStation 3, prior to the advent of sub-$300 Blu-ray players, was regarded as one of the cheapest and value-added ways of getting Blu-ray technology into your home. Despite the competitive price drops in standalone players, the PlayStation 3 remains an incredible value by offering users the ability to view and play high-definition videogames and multimedia content, all in one piece of hardware. Regardless of where your gaming allegiances lie, there is no contesting the fact that the PlayStation 3 is a multimedia powerhouse.

I followed what the guy did and it's much improved, surprisingly.

NicCageMYHero6376d ago

I haven't tried it yet but is it noticeably improved over the defaults?

I use my PS3 has my primary multimedia machine. Ever since I discovered the magic that is HDMI and the ability to upscale DVD over it I've been extremely happy with the big black box. I enjoy the picture and sound quality of Blu-Ray. It's an awesome.

When I first set up my PS3 I set it up with component cables since I didn't have an additional HDMI port. And then when I played my 1st bluray movie I was so disapointed!! But someone told me to get an HDMI switcher and connect thru that with a new HDMI cable. Once I did that, the tru beauty of bluray shone thru!!!

doshey6376d ago

my brother had the same thing happen to him, except he didnt believe blu ray was better than dvd, till one day he bought a player now he wont shut up about blu ray cuz its so much better than dvd

BIGELLOW6376d ago

...with one exception. I would actually recommend turning 24Hz output OFF.

e3kehoe6376d ago

why??? sounds more like a personal preference.. I think that its better ON. ;p

Oner6376d ago

If you have a TV that is 120hz and/or supports 24hz the you actually WANT to have that enabled. It removes the 3:2 pull down flicker and other issues. Please refrain from posting misinformation if you don't know what you are talking about or don't explain why you would even say something like that.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle41d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy49d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
