Can blue ray or HD dvd players older old DVDs

Sorry, This is likely a lame question to most of you. My DVD player is dead. SO I will be replacing it. Will it be necessary to purchase two dvd players or is the HD and Blue Ray player backward compatible.

They are backward compliant. You will love HD movies. Not as big a change from VHS to SD-DVD but still very nice.

Thats what I was hoping. Now I don't need to worry about a second player. Thanks.

not only are they backwards compatible,but I *believe* they all (HDDVD and Bluray)upconvert sd material to 1080.
I know the HDDVD players do but I'm not sure about the Bluray players.

Thats awsome. I did not know that. I think I might need to get one for our bedroom too.
