Report: Gamers largely clueless about next-gen console media capabilities

In some ways, the higher cost of entry may be helping the PlayStation 3 in this respect. 50 percent of gamers in the study knew the system featured high-definition graphics, compared to the 30 percent of gamers who knew about the high-definition function of the 360. Sony is hoping the PlayStation 3 will get more customers on its side in the HD DVD/Blu-ray format war, but the bad news for them is that while the PS3 has helped to increase the installed base of Blu-ray players, only 40 percent of PS3 owners surveyed knew that the system even had Blu-ray built-in. Furthermore, only half of those people had played a Blu-ray movie in the last ten times they turned on their PS3s. It's not even worth wondering how many people were using the PSP to access their PS3 content remotely; if the most basic functions of the system are going ignored, the higher-level features are almost certainly going unappreciated.
