Blu rays should play on standard dvds too

Wow, didn't expect that hatred that came with the last post that someone it had to be closed. I just don't get all of you would prefer that everyone buy new discs and simply throw out our regular dvd players -- you want us all to go out and buy 399 dollar players -- what about our friends and relatives who refuse to upgrade.

I'm not asking them to sacrifice quality, if you guys don't want combo discs then maybe they can offer separate discs. I don't know. It is one of the reasons why i don't buy many blu rays and guess what -- people are not won over YET with buying high definition discs either. It was one of the perks of hd-dvd that you could play them in both your hd player and regular -- blu ray should offer this same technology, if they are indeed the better format and can hold more space, I don't see why this is such an issue?
