I have noticed that blu ray players have updates, internet, and other perks to it. I want a blu ray player for the better quality of movies, but is it more of a hassle to watch movies on it (setups, menu's, etc.) And do the HDMI wires come with most blu ray players, or do you have to buy those seperatly? Any info on this would be great. Oh yeah, I have heard the PS3 is probably the best bet for a blu ray player, but I dont like video games and refuse to buy a PS3, so please, just info on blu ray players, thank you!
Answer
Blu Ray is much better picture quality, but to get that quality you must have a 1080p TV. if you only have a 720p or lower, you might as well get a upconverting DVD player. No most Blu Rays do NOT come with the HDMI, and if you don't get it, then it is a waste on money without one. As far as PS3 and Blu Ray go, you are looking at about the same money now, but with a PS3, well you get to play games. no it is not more of a hassle, it is the same to watch as an old dvd player. Also when you use a Blu Ray player it upconverts old DVD to 720p, making your old DVD's look better. The Sound quality is much better. The big thing with Blu Ray is that is hold 50GB worth of info, so the material is "RAW" un compressed, while a old DVD holds about 8GB and the info in compressed loosing quality.

What's the differences between Blu-Ray & HD DVD Player?

Can a regular Blu-Ray play a HD DVD?
Answer
HD-DVD was a competing format to Blu-Ray. Both are HD formats. Several months ago, HD-DVD was dropped by all its coalition manufacturers. A couple companies made players that could play both Blu-Ray and HD-DVD, but those models have been discontinued due to the demise of the HD-DVD format. Unless your player specifically lists HD-DVD as a format that it supports, your Blu-Ray player will not play HD-DVDs.
