Oh my god what a obvious question. It is so great. Way better that dvd. On a HDTV dvds don't look good unless you have a blu-ray player because they upconvert them to near HD quality. They have 1080p HD which is the best. DVD is only 480p. You will need a HDMI cable which they might give to you free. Get the ps3. You see it has blu-ray built into it unlike 360 which supports only HDDVD which has completely lost the war because it doesn't look as good or have as much memory. blu-ray has 25 gb of information on it on a single layer disk. And sony is coming out with a 4 layer disk with 125 gb of info. DVD has 5 gb. Blu-ray players will cost you about 600.00. ps3 is 399.99. And it has blu-ray and much more. You will love it. And make sure you get a 1080p HDTV for the best hi-def experience.
