There was an offer when you registered the PS3 on PSN to get a free copy of Casino Royale.
I personally bought the PS3 with Blu-Ray playback in mind and am building up a nice little collection of the discs now.

I still don't like it how the PS3s fate is sealed with Blu-ray and vice-versa. If one fails, they both fail. In this case I think HD-DVD is more stable format than Blu-ray even though its losing the format war right now.

I for one still don't know a single person who has, or is considering to buy, a Blu-Ray player (standalone or PS3)

Did you not read my reply??
I bought mine mainly for that reason. i already have games machines, I wanted a Blu-Ray player.

No offence, but I meant people I know personally, like friends, relatives, friends' friends etc. Like I said, of course enthousiasts will buy PS3's and also use them for HD video. It's simply the least expensive player available and you get a games console with it. I just don't think there is enough market demand for HD optical media right now, and I'm not convinced yet that it will *ever* get as popular as e.g. DVD. At least not before networked content replaces discs altogether.
