PlayStation 3 has a Blu-ray Disc Player built in that lets you watch your favourite films in true High Definition (up to 1080p depending on your television).

With a massive capacity on each BD, allowing up to three hours of HD video plus nine hours of Standard Definition (SD) bonus material to be stored on one double layer Blu-ray Disc, you'll be sure of no disc-swapping interruptions.

Your visual entertainment doesn't start and end with the astonishing Blu-ray Disc Player. As the heart of your home multimedia enjoyment, PS3 is also the perfect place to store, organise and enjoy an array of digital video files. Store your existing digital movies on the PlayStation 3 system's Hard Disk Drive, plus download new content from PlayStation®Store including High Definition movie and game trailers.

You can also access video files stored on your PS3 via Remote Play with your PSP. Build a massive library of staggering visual entertainment on your PS3, and access it in a different location via PSP.
