Unfortunately the opposite was the case for Samsung ( again ) with the v2.09 update posted recently for its 2009 BD-Px600 line of players. Forum posters on CNET and AVSForum report the upgrade blocked them from playing Universal and Warner Bros. movies, which conveniently lock …

Blu-ray????????????????????????????

Saturday, August 21st, 2010

Question by Huggy_LOW_Down: Blu-ray????????????????????????????
Can you still watch a blu disc on a regular dvd player? do you need a hdtv to watch blu-ray movies??

thanks best answer 10 points
im getting a ps3

Best answer:

Answer by Stephen M
No, you can not watch a blu-ray movie on a regular DVD. (why would they have blu-ray players then?) You can watch regular DVDs on a blu-ray however. No, you do not NEED a high def TV, but it will be a waste of money to have bought one without a HDTV. At the VERY least, you would need to make sure both your TV and the particular blu-ray player have the same variety of AV connection, else you will not even be able to hook them up.

Dj doesn’t have a clue as to what he/she is talking about. Or what is their take on why my blu-ray has HDMI, component, and even S-video outputs?
