hey bro, it was just my opinions..no offence tho..at least i support ori....

IMHO, why take the risk since dvd player is cheaper nowdays..cheaper than ps3 replacement lense..

as TS said, he want to make one stop multimedia player lolz...

It's advisable not to watch dvd on ur ps3 , in long run surely damage ur lens and dont forget ps3 is made for blu-ray, even watching dvd with ps2 is not recommended as the console is made for gaming purpose.

PS3 got the upscaling feature which can make ur dvd movie looks HD (a dvd player with upscaling capability is not cheap btw)

for a fact, I've been using the ps3 to watch dvd ever since i bought it coz of this (but never a pirated ones la). But during the ps2 era i've been watching my dvd on the ps2 too...and the fat ps2 still lives on now at my parents house playing games until now (even with my reckless nephew and niece playing it).

If ur lense wanna kong...it will kong depending on ur luck la...just like the 3rod n ylod...if it happens..it happens.

then why they still want to make it backward compatible? why they want to enable their console to run VCD and DVD?

ok, i know the reason why, because your lense will gone faster and then you have to fork out money to change the lense, profit goes to sony
