Blu Ray and DVDs

[laura_lou7]

Is Blu Ray going to replace DVDs?? Are are they going to work alongside each other? Simple answers with no big technical terms please!!!

Simple answer

Yes they will eventually replace DVD's but DVD's will be available for some time yet.

Much like the switch from VHS video tape to DVD.

I am absolutely certain that when the time comes to replace your dvd player with a lovely new Blu Ray player, it will play your old dvds too.

I fink the oooja will work with the whatnot.

like chuck says it's only cd to dvd next is blu-ray ...
At the mo - the round thing is the same size .... so no problem
if the next doo dah is a pluggy inny thingy
then that will end the optical disk trend.

if you are thinking of buying I remember when a dvd burner cost over �500 - same now for blu-ray give it a while and they'll be down to �20 or �30
and the disks will be given away in the sun
