  • Only 40 percent of PS3 owners knew about its Blu-ray player.
  • Half of those who were aware of Blu-ray did not use it.
  • About half of those polled knew the Xbox 360 plays DVDs.
  • 30 percent of 360 owners knew the console was HD capable.
  • 50 percent of PS3 owners knew the console was HD capable.

6,260 people were polled and owned at least one next-gen console.
