Hey guys, I'm thinking of getting a new DVD player. Anyone havve an opinion on what would be a better way to go between HD and Blu-Ray? I want a player I can just plug in to the TV and use, without the need of an external HD box to interface the two. |

But wait, is Blue Ray backwards compatible? To me it's useless if I can't play my "old" DVDs on it anymore. |

As far as I've seen, all Blu-Ray and HD-DVD players are backwards compatible. You'd be hard-pressed to find something that isn't backwards-compatible nowadays - it's all the rage on computers, video game consoles, and even movie players.  I've also started to see a lot of players and PC drives that play both Blu-Ray and HD-DVD. Those devices will be the saviors for all those who invested in HD-DVD movies. And yeah, HD-DVD is headed out the door. Production for HD-DVD hardware and movies will cease this month. See the article below: http://www.cnet.com/8300-13512_1-23.html?keyword=HD+DVD Toshiba - the main proponent of HD-DVD - has surrendered.  I'm glad I waited for the war to end first.

Go Blue Ray. HDDVD is officially dead. Both WB and Netflix have dropped the format. |

andrew wrote: Does the Xbox360 play bluray dvd's too? Nope. The add-on drive they built for it is HD-DVD, designed when HD-DVD was a prime contender against Blu-Ray. They might make a Blu-Ray drive in the future, though... or they might save it for the next-gen XBox console. |
