Will blu-ray players play HD DVD's? - Blu-ray Forum

I was just wondering if blu-ray players will play HD DVD's as well as blu-ray discs?

Absolutely not. This is the very essence of the format war. If you want to be able to watch all of the movies that come out in high def you'll need to buy a Blu-ray player and an HD DVD player. Neither player will play the other format.

Or you can buy BD and wait for Universal to cave.
