Can Blu-Ray machines play normal DVDs?

Question

I have a number of regular DVD's and don't want to replace the if I don't have to.

Answer 1

I have a Playstation 3 and it plays Blu-Ray, DVD, and Music Cd's. I think the only difference is the file capacity of the disc. Blu-Ray discs hold 80GB while DVD's hold only 8GB. I don't think it will play HDDVD though.

Answer 2

Yes, but with no high definition.

Answer 3

Why don't you just try them?

In fact the answer is yes, provided you are in the right geographic zone.

Answer 4

some of them can, make sure u look at the specs to see if they do

Answer 5

all bluray players can play cd's and dvd's, but not hd-dvd.

Answer 6

Yes, Blu-Ray machines and HD machines can also play normal dvds. You won't need to replace your dvds unless you created the dvds yourself.

Answer 7

Yes, all blu-ray machines can also play normal DVDs.
