Pirate lookin' at 40 Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 At some point, I will get a blu ray player, probably a ps3. So, with that in mind, it probably makes sense to buy only blu ray dvd's. I know that a blu ray player will play regular dvd's, but will a regular player play blu ray discs?

Avernus Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 you'll be shocked at how many people don't know that their DVD player won't play HD-DVD or Blu-ray... a lot of people got burned on amazon who decided to spend 10 bucks more to go for the HD-DVD version of Planet Earth rather than DVD because they thought HD-DVD's would play in a regular DVD player.. the confusion begins and ends with the fact that there are 2 high def formats and people think that Blu-ray is just something else in it's entirety...

Azazello1313 Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 it's similar to how a DVD player or a DVD computer drive will read CDs, but if you put a DVD in a CD drive, nada. the drive designed for the older type of disc cannot recognize the newer, denser media format, but the newer drive will be backward compatible.
