WHAT?

Are you serious? Can HD-DVD discs ALSO contain a DVD version - whereas BluRay movies cannot?

That is an absolute killer-app feature right there - and I never knew about it...???

...

How is this for a promotion - some DVD discs include HD-DVD versions of the same movie - for free. People buy it (esp. for a popular movie), only to discover they already have a free HD-DVD version of a movie.

If that doesn't encourage people to head out and buy a new player, I'm not sure what would.

BTW - do most/all HD-DVD & BluRay players ALSO play DVDs? I know the PS3 does - what about everything else?

 


Yep, many HD-DVD discs also contain a DVD version of the movie on the disc. Blu-ray does not offer this option.

Every Blu-ray/HD-DVD player I know of also plays standard DVD discs.
