I’m sure that the PS3’s drive is much more reliable than the drives in the PS2 (I’m sure many of you can relate to the experience of having PS2s die untimely deaths), so it should probably be safe to use the PS3 for all sorts of discs.

I just got a whole bunch of DVDs.. and I’m planning on playing them on my PS3 but I heard that might dfry the reader quicker. Is this true or should I go for this deal?

You need to consider the prices on these dual-format machines to know if they’re worth getting into. At a high price, you’re better off getting individual players that are excellent in their own ways. At a much lower price on a combo player, it might be ok to give up a few features here and there to get that dual-format ability.

If you are considering dual-format simply to do Blu-ray, then your money will be better spent on a dedicated machine, like the $399 PS3 which is Profile 2.0 compliant. Combo players make more sense when you’re trying to preserve some HD DVD compatibility with your large collection.

Call Best Buy if you didn’t hear from them regarding your $50. They had been calling up customers and sending cards out several weeks ago.
