What is blu ray player?

a high definition player. Xbox has DVD player and PS3 has blu ray. Blu ray disk can store more memory than dvd disk so example FFXIII for the PS3 got 1 blu ray disk and 360 got 6 DVD disk for the game

A Blu-Ray player plays a blu-ray disk. This is much like your standard DVD but the quality is much better. The picture will be much sharper and the sound will be more intense. The PS3 you mentioned, has a built in Blu-Ray player. The blu-ray player itself will run you 300-400 dollars. Keep in mind, you must purchase blu-ray DVD’s to utilize the players features. Now, all this information is pointless seeing that you do not own a HD TV. The blu-ray is capable of producing a picture of 1080P. That is the best available at this time. With a non hd tv, you will not be able to take in the experience, bc it will not allow the player to reach its potential. It will be knocked down to 480i..i would imagine, these numbers have to do with the lines on your screen...the more lines, the finer and sharper the picture.

Blu-ray, also known as Blu-ray Disc (BD), is a next-generation optical disc format jointly developed by members of the Blu-ray Disc Association (BDA), a group of the world's leading consumer electronics, personal computer and media manufacturers (including Apple, Dell, Hitachi, HP, JVC, LG, Mitsubishi, Panasonic, Pioneer, Philips, Samsung, Sharp, Sony, TDK and Thomson). The format was developed to enable recording, rewriting and playback of High Definition Video (HD), as well as storing large amounts of data. The format offers more than five times the storage capacity of traditional DVDs and can hold up to 25GB on a single-layer disc and 50GB on a dual-layer disc. This extra capacity combined with the use of advanced video and audio codecs offers consumers an unprecedented HD experience.

if you don't have an hdtv you will miss out on a bunch of detail from the graphics that the ps3 has to offer.

Blu ray player additionally will play your Blu ray movie discs. And I believe Blu ray is the format of games for ps3 as well.

Blu-Ray Disc is basically a disc that can hold more data than a DVD. What that means is you can now fit more video and sound quality onto a single disc, but you need a Blu-Ray capable of reading the disc hence a Blu-Ray Player. You can get the full benefits of Blu-Ray using a HDTV and home theater system, but is not mandatory. I recommend getting at least a HDTV for Blu-Ray so you can see the superior video quality.

Blu Ray is a manufacturer or company that makes high definition dvds. If you don't have a hi definition tv, it usually won't play at all. Ps3 is a game. So maybe blu ray is offering this when you buy their hd dvd's.

Its like a dvd player, only its blu ray, you but certain types of movie blue ray discs, blue ray makes the quality of the movie better.

blu-ray is the best media format around which offers the best video quality and space but only looks better when viewed on an HD TV and ps3 are made on blu-ray which offers much larger games than ps2. ps2 only have 4.7gb's of space while blu-ray has 25gb's!

This extra capacity combined with the use of advanced video and audio codecs will offer consumers an unprecedented HD experience.

While current optical disc technologies such as DVD, DVD±R, DVD±RW, and DVD-RAM rely on a red laser to read and write data, the new format uses a blue-violet laser instead, hence the name Blu-ray. Despite the different type of lasers used, Blu-ray products can easily be made backwards compatible with CDs and DVDs through the use of a BD/DVD/CD compatible optical pickup unit. The benefit of using a blue-violet laser (405nm) is that it has a shorter wavelength than a red laser (650nm), which makes it possible to focus the laser spot with even greater precision. This allows data to be packed more tightly and stored in less space, so it's possible to fit more data on the disc even though it's the same size as a CD/DVD. This together with the change of numerical aperture to 0.85 is what enables Blu-ray Discs to hold 25GB/50GB.

Blu-ray is currently supported by more than 180 of the world's leading consumer electronics, personal computer, recording media, video game and music companies. The format also has broad support from the major movie studios as a successor to today's DVD format. In fact, seven of the eight major movie studios (Disney, Fox, Warner, Paramount, Sony, Lionsgate and MGM) have released movies in the Blu-ray format and six of them (Disney, Fox, Sony, Warner, Lionsgate and MGM) are releasing their movies exclusively in the Blu-ray format. Many studios have also announced that they will begin releasing new feature films on Blu-ray Disc day-and-date with DVD, as well as a continuous slate of catalog titles every month.
