Can someone PLEASE tell me EXACTLY what this means??? I've seen a story, for the past two days, on Yahoo news regarding blu-ray. It says Blu-Ray beats out HD DVD (is this really big news?). Are my DVD's obsolete?? What is a blu-ray anyway?? Are DVD's still available?? What about the DVD players? Didn't we JUST begin adjusting to DVD land? Am I the only one who wants them to stick with one thing for a little while? I still have VHS people!! I mean SEVERAL VHS, I was thinking which would I want to buy in DVD form first. My computer is about 5 years old and although it is great - there are times when it is so slow and so annoying!!!! I am amazed that I can be so behind the times with a 5 year old computer!! Didn't DVD burners (or whatever they are called) JUST become available. I still use a PAPER calendar, and if necessary I PRINT out my online calendar! I can't move ahead in this techno world. I want my DVD's. Is HD DVD different from DVD?? Am I clueless?? I think I am!

DVD players are not going out. HD DVD players and Blu Ray players are two types of DVD players that play in high definition. Most of the movie studios are going to use the Blu Ray format, so HD DVD type players are out.
If you aren't already using a high definition DVD player, this won't matter to you.
Hope this helps!
Thanks Lauren!! This clears it all up for me! I cannot keep up, just when I think I understand - everything changes again. I am glad to understand the article better now. They were saying those who went HD DVD just gambled with their purchase and lost the bet. Now I get it! :)
Thanks!
I did not know any of this - and like you have a lot of DVDs, many VHS still and I would not be thrilled by a new format.
(deep sigh of relief!)
Yeah, all this was new to me a month ago. I heard about it on Rick and Bubba. My head is spinning with all these technological changes too. I
So glad Lauren was able to clear that up. NO CLUE here. WE still have many VHS as well.
