How to Check to See If Your PS3 Blu-ray Player Works

Since beating out the HD DVD standard, Blu-ray has become the HD format of choice for movies. The PlayStation 3 has a built in Blu-ray disc player that allows it to easily read and play back movies, in addition to its usual purpose as a gaming system. It is relatively easy to determine if the Blu-ray player on your PS3 works correctly.
