Sony may be working to expand the perception of the PS3 as a media powerhouse with half-hearted bundles and new advertising campaigns, but according to SCEA Director of PlayStation Network Operations Eric Lempel, it's already doing quite well in that department. He indicates that 74 percent of all PS3 users have "spent some time" watching Blu-ray movies, with barely a quarter left shunning the machine's high-def creds. Of course, the real question for Sony's sake is how many have gone ahead and purchased some of those fancy discs, a stat that Lempel doesn't share, but regardless we have to think it's time for Sony to stop putting tedious advertisements for Blu-ray players at the beginning of its Blu-ray discs -- we've already got one, you see? It's very nice!

I have a small collection for my PS3. mostly BBC Earth documentaries.
Gotta admit Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace are perfect for Blu-Ray.

I have a small but decent collection of Blu-rays and it continues to grow. I've stopped buying DVDs altogether.

I have watched a total of no blu-ray movies. However thats because I still own a 20" sdtv and it would seem a little silly.

I've rented plenty, but only own two - Spider-Man 3 (which came with the PS3 bundle my wife bought) and Iron Man. It's good for F/X blockbusters, but it didn't make "28 Dresses" any better. (Hey, sometimes you make sacrifices for your wife!)

I'll be getting Watchmen for xmas, though...
