Yes, it does play both. Blu-ray, obviously, in HD. And has a nifty upconvert feature for DVDs which is almost HD quality to the DVD.

The remote won't play the blu-ray disc. All the other remote features work. But the play will not.

It's supposed to play both, however after six months mine stopped playing regular dvds and will now only read blu-ray. It is also SUPER SLOW to load. You'd be better off getting one of the new quick loading ones. You can put a blu-ray in this one, go to the kitchen, make dinner, come back, and it still might not be done getting ready. Especially with newer discs that need a downloaded update to the machine's software.

For sure it plays normal DVD discs. I haven't tried 2D blu-ray myself, but the promotional literature says it will. In fact, it won't play 3D blu-ray unless you have a 3D TV (obviously).

There no disc drive at all, so no it does not play blu-ray. I have an external DVD-RW drive that I use if I need to burn a disc.

Yes, it will play both Blu-Ray and regular DVD's as well as 3D. You need a 3D TV in order to take advantage of the 3D capability.

Most (all?) Blu - Ray players are backwards compatible to play both DVD and CD. This one plays all three just fine.

I read the other answers that stated the disc is a blu-ray and I have to disagree with that. The disc says it is for blu ray players but it is still a regular dvd. I used it in a non blu ray dvd player, and it worked, a blu-ray disc cannot be read by a dvd only player.

I have only played regular movies successfully ..it would not play DVDs which I converted from tape to DVD.. Vod or mpg format

Don't know what's up with that. Plays my DVDs just fine. If your DVDs are Blue Ray, that might be why. It might not play Blue Ray. My DVDs are not, so again, they play fine. =-)

It doesn't play blu-ray discs, but you can get an external blu-ray player which uses a USB connection. There is one on sale at TigerDirect right now which should work for you. Here's the link, below. You may even be able to find better and/or less expensive ones with a bit of shopping around.http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3170776&CatId;=3634

It does play Blu-ray Disc (BD). I always discard bundled software because they are all bloat/ads-ware offering what I don't want & need. Download no-charge VLC Media Player, and it plays BD movies great!Windows Media Player also plays BD movies, but I much more prefer VLC Media Player.

This will only play content from CD/DVD disks. If the disk says "blue-ray" (which is popular for new HD movies) this won't play it! You will need to look for a player that can play blue-ray disks.

Am I crazy, or is it more than a bit offputting that, after buying a machine, you then have to start getting upgrades for it just to be able to play newer discs? My machine's about two years old, and the last disc I bought wouldn't load. Seems like a rip-off to me. And it's not like blu-ray sales have been strong enough to justify this sort of customer fleecing.

Yes, blue-ray players also play dvds. I wouldn't have gotten a blue-ray player if it didn't.
