EMA survey says '87 percent' of PS3 owners watch Blu-ray flicks. Nod like you believe it.
That is probably the amount of people that have watched a Blu-Ray at one point in time... I just bought the system so put two movies on my netflix que (Casino Royale and Pirates of the Caribbean) and that will probably be the last time I watch one. It bugs the fucking shit out of me that I can't just hit menu and skip all the nonsense that you are forced to watch in the beginning. It bugs me that the disc doesn't just load straight to the menu. You can skip each clip but god forbid you just want to watch the movie you put into the system, can't make getting to it easy... (This could be worse on rentals, and isn't an issue with retail purchases...but I doubt it)
Then there is the lack of convience, I can't move to my bedroom to watch the movies...or my laptop, or anything other than the ps3...
And then when the movies started both of them had letterboxing so a major portion of my screen isn't used...would be nice to zoom...sadly that isn't an option. All that quality and you never thought that zooming the movie to fit would be important!?
I remember watching Pirates on TNT HD or some cable network around the time that the movie was released on Blu-Ray, it looked great and it was zoomed to fill the whole screen (aspect ratio preserved obviously) and I was looking forward to that again... sorry, not possible with the actual movie on ps3. I could not be more disappointed with Blu-Ray. I guess it's designed for people who want 1080p movies on a 1080p TV to only use 75% of the screen...is that even 1080p?!
