It has always been a possibility, that to keep costs down the first Blu-Ray players will not be backwardsly compatible, and won't play dvds.

They've already made a laser for Blu-ray which reads Blu-ray discs, DVD discs, and CDs. I first read about it months ago. I believe this newer laser will be used in most, if not all of the initial U.S. Blu-ray players. Also I think the chances of a Blu-ray player being released that does not include DVD playback are zero! There's just no way they'd stab themselves in the foot and help promote HD-DVD by doing so.

OK, I didn't realise the laser that read all 3 formats was ready yet. All the Blu-Ray protoypes I have seen so far have been massive which Suggested twin transports. I suppose it comes dowm to 2 things really; Which format has the biggest/best selection of films, and which is cheapest, (players and discs).
