DVD Question

[Really Lost One]

I just have a quick question about DVDs. I know now they've come up with HD DVDs and Blu-ray DVDs. What's the difference between the two, and what makes them so much better than regular DVDs? I'm guessing HD DVDs have better quality, but I have no idea about the Blu-rays. Also, if I were to buy one of the new DVDs, would I still be able to watch them on regular DVD players, or would I have to go out and buy a newer version? Thanks.

You'd need to buy standalone HDDVD or Blu Ray players, or XBox 360 with the HDDVD add-on or the PS3. They play their specific format and regular DVDs. If you've ever seen anything in HD, this is what Blu Ray and HDDVD movies look like.

If you had to pick one of the two formats to buy, I'd suggest Blu Ray. They're selling higher volumes and have a better library of titles.

It's pretty much the same quality IMHO but Blue Ray has a lot more titles.
