sorry for the late reply been caught up in work

the reason why i asked this question is that i have a huge collection of original movies and i am planning to put it all in a TVIX multi media player as over the years they get scratched and also prefer to have 1 storage that will contain all my entertainment media, since bluray is the new hi-def and i would be buying blu ray movies

hence the question rather than investing in another blu ray rom if the ps3 would serve the purpose

thank you all for your replies

p.s : below is what i read which got me thinking

Will Blu-ray support mandatory managed copy?


Yes, mandatory managed copy (MMC) will be part of the Blu-ray format. This feature will enable consumers to make legal copies of their Blu-ray movies that can be transferred over a home network. Please note that "mandatory" refers to the movies having to offer this capability, while it will be up to each hardware manufacturer to decide if they want to support this feature.
