    Aren't Blu Ray Discs supposed to play on standard DVD Players? I know it won't be in HD format but I thought it would still play as a Standard DVD.

    Neither my laptop (Win XP SP3) nor my desktop (Win Vista Home Premium SP2) will play a Blu Ray disc.

    No - a Blu-Ray drive has a blue-violet laser whereas a std DVD drive has a red laser .....

    Blu-ray Disc

    Maybe I had it backwards...I think a standard DVD will play in a Blu Ray player?
