by Andrew S Member since:December 29, 2008Total points:54,655 (Level 7)A blu-ray drive will play blu-ray discs in addition to regular DVDs and CDs. That means high definition video and much greater capacity when used for data. However, my thought are that unless you want to play HD movies now leave it for the time being - blu-ray drives are still expensive, and by the time they are commonly used for data the cost of them will have plummeted.

I don't own a Blu-ray player, but I assume it can play normal DVD's as well, so the Blu-Ray player is better if you have a lot of Blu-ray movies you want to watch.
