Need more "very simple" info about Blu ray:

Blu-Ray is an HD (high-definition) disc that holds 25Gb to 50Gb (5 to 10 times that of DVD)
Players are around $200.
PC player/burners $200.
B/R players will play regular DVDs with higher resolution. (up-convertion)

Blu-Ray will only play on its own player.

thanks for reply.
I know two reasons that will not use B/ray.
1- I don't hv the money too, for such device.
2- I doubt if I can find some devices here in my country.
prefer to use my DVD player.

Moh, also you would have to have an HD (flat panel) TV to take advantage of the Blu-Ray's definition!

There is where the cost lies!
