Yes, it will. The Blu ray and HD DVD players will play regular DVDs. Only thing is Blu ray will not play HD, and HD will not play Blu ray.

If I may suggest hold off from buying either till they settle which will become dominat. I don't know if you remember when VHS and Beta came out, but I thought Beta was the better quality VCR player. As you know the world thought other wise and chose VHS.

I was stuck with a Beta player and a whole lot of Beta tapes. A very expensive lesson, I still have the Beta stuff in my garage. I can't even give the Beta player and tapes away.

Live and learn is what my friend say to me when they see that stuff in my garage. Maybe I'll make a shrine out of it. Try and wait and see what the world will decide before you plunk down your hard earned cash..

Yes Every approved blu-ray player will play standard DVDs. I believe every player on the market currently does. The Blu-Ray Disc Association calls for this backward-compatibility.

On a side-note, you might consider a dual-format player (BD/HD-DVD). The format war (Blu-Ray vs HD-DVD) is far from over with a pretty even split of exclusive studios. Right now they're still a bit expensive, but will probably drop some closer to the holidays and significantly next year as additional dual-format players come out.

If I hadn't already gotten the HD-DVD add-on for my Xbox 360 (it was too cheap to pass up! ), I'd go for a dual-format. In fact, that's probably what I'll end up doing in the long run anyway.

Blu-ray players not only play DVDs, but they can up-convert standard DVDs as well. While you do not get the same 1080p picture quality as blu-ray discs.
