60% of PlayStation 3 owners are oblivious of Blu-ray

According to a new study by the NPD Group, only 40% of PlayStation 3 owners are aware that their console plays Blu-ray discs. This is after almost 18 months of PS3/Blu-ray advertisements and announcements, not to mention significant branding of Blu-ray on PlayStation 3 products.

It's rather unsettling to think of so many people not realizing a significant portion of their console's potential due to lack of awareness. It's tough to see what Sony could do different though. It may just be one of those things where it takes some time before awareness of Blu-ray hits critical mass.

So, you guys are aware that the PS3 plays Blu-ray movies ... right?

Sorry... but I beg to differ :rofl: I've seen some pretty ignorant people (Note - I don't mean ignorant as in stupid, because they mean completely different things)

There's just no way. How would Blu-Ray movies be totally owning HD-DVD if PS3 users weren't out and buying movies?

I think some fanboys of other consoles fudged the results.

And $#@!, the PS3 COMES with a ****ing blu-ray movie and new ones come with a coupon to redeem 5 movies for free. So how the **** can 60% not know about blu-ray?
