can i play burnt dvds on a ps3 or any stand alone blu ray player? if so which ones? is the ps3 the best value for blu ray? thanks in advance
You should be able to play burnt DVDs on a PS3 because once ripped and burned all forms of copy protections have been removed. The PS3 is a good deal if you also would like to use the console for gaming but as just a Blu-Ray player it's not that economical. I purchased an OEM Lite-On for my PC for $119.00 and it seems to be doing well thus far. They even sent me two copies of PowerDVD Blu-Ray addition, but I didn't need them since I have a copy of PowerDVD Ultra 8.0. Since I have a very limited Blu-Ray collection I can't say how well the system will work over time, but for now I've been able to rip and play movies with it.
Yes you can play burnt dvd movies on a ps3, I have lots of ripped back-ups, never had a issue yet with them playing on a ps3. I Think the ps3 is the best bargain for blu-ray player, the ps3 is much more than a blu-ray player and game console. Give this a read. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_3
