The Playstation 3 game console, also referred to as PS3, can be used as a Blu Ray player and is upgradeable to play 3D Blu Ray discs. Obviously using the PS3 will not work for everyone, but being that is is one of the leading gaming consoles, many people already have this in their homes and for those that do not it is relatively inexpensive and can serve as a good starting point for viewing 3D content.
