does a ps3 play normal dvds?

Yes , it can play all the Disks which are currently present on the Earth (Bluray ,HD DVD ,DVD .CDRW and CD ) PS3 Basically has a Blue ray Player which means it can play all the Disks . A normal blue Ray player costs a lot of Bucks so it's no joke . Try it .. it should work well .

Yes.

The way Disk Drives work is, like this:

Bluray

HD DVD

DVD

CD RW

CD

Say you bought a Bluray player (PS3 has one). This would mean it can do everything on that list.

If you bought a regular DVD player, it could read everything from DVD and down on the list.

This is a basic explanation, just to help you understand.

Yes it does because SONY consoles all alow u to play dvd whereas nintendo does not have this feature

yes it will play dvds

it upscales dvds to hd if you have a hd tv too

Yes, and upscales them if you are using an HDMI cable.

no i does not...

but as far as i know the new ps3 modchip which is actually a software stored on a pendrive can help u...

yes.
