Is it possible to share Blu-ray movies between two PS3 systems? (Help needed.)
07/15/2011 | BuckeyeTexan

Objective: For two people in separate houses, each with a PS3, to watch a Blu-ray movie played on one of the PS3 systems.

Is it possible to do this? If so, can it be done through the PS Network? Is there another or better way?


TOPICS: Chit/Chat; Computers/Internet; Music/Entertainment; TV/Movies
KEYWORDS: bluray; filesharing; ps3
Advice and suggestions are appreciated. My daughter is trying to entertain a sick friend to whose house she can't go.

Both have PS3 systems, computers, and TVs.

Don’t think this is possible. Netflix has a streaming Watch with a party mode, but I have only watched that through Xbox live, and have not tried it on the PS3.

Not sure if you can, but if all matter begins circling around it at high speed, I’ll guess No.

I guessed “No” before posting this thread, but my daughter begged me to “Check with your FReepers. They’ll know.”

Well, I have neither PS3 nor Blue Ray... but somehow that combination seems exotic enough to create nuclear mischief.

With a PS3 : I don’t think so.
With a PC : Yes, but takes some doing.
Is it legal : No
Do you care if it’s legal : I can’t answer that.
Your duaghter’s a good egg for caring about a friend ... God bless her.

After one person is done with a disk, they can stand up, and walk it to the neighbor’s house.

Or, the neighbor can come pick it up and return it since the first party ordered it.

Sorry. What you are proposing (2 ps3s and one disk) is impossible without hacking the PS3 and then breaking the beloved Digital Millennium Copyright Act.

Options: rent the movie at the friends house from PSN.
rent the bluray from the video store for him.
