Message: <blockquote data-quote="roderick_young" data-source="post: 187207">A Blu-ray player is just a higher-definition player, and will give a more detailed picture when playing a Blu-ray DVD.  It's also backward compatible, so will play today's ordinary DVD's.All indications are that Blu-ray has won the hi-def war, so I expect that all players will eventually migrate to that, as will computer DVD drives.This does not mean everything will be really expensive, any more than switching from CD to DVD originally meant huge expenses.  The raw material cost of a Blu-ray drive should be no higher than an ordinary DVD, so eventually, the price should come down.</blockquote>
