Bluray Player or DVD Player?

Sam

Hi, I have a question regarding movie players. In your opinion, should I buy a Blu-Ray Player or a DVD Player. I know a Blu-Ray player is much more expensive as well as the movies, however, if I remember correctly I can also play DVD's on a Blu-Ray player and it will upconvert it to 1080i. So my plan is to get regular movies on DVD and play it on the Blu-Ray player and if there's a movie like Avatar or 2012 the movies that just has to be watched in HD I'll get the Blu-Ray Version of the movie.

So Basically what I'm asking is:

1) Will a Blu-Ray player play both DVD and Bluray so I can get movies I like on Blu-Ray and regular movies on DVD?

2) Which is better? To get the Blu-Ray player or DVD player?

Please answer in detail, Thanks in advance! Cheers! :D

Answer
Most (not all) blu-ray players play dvd's too and some (by no means all) will upcovert to 1080i although it is still not as good as watching something that is HD as source.
