have a dvd player and dvd extrnal drives for my pc.

Does this affect them or is this only for when I go buy a new dvd palyer for HD format?

Your existing dvd players and drives are unaffected, at least for now. Just like VHS tapes, as time goes by, you're going to start seeing a larger and larger selection of blu-ray movies on the store shelves. You'll start having the option of adding a bluray reader/writer drive on your computers. Eventually, it's believed that your standard dvd will become less and less available.

"Eventually, it's believed that your standard dvd will become less and less available."

I still don't understand the whole thing. I thought I heard that NetZero, Best Buy, Walmart, (I may be mistaken on some of these) will only be carrying blu-ray DVD's. If this is case then I wouldn't be able to play them on my regular DVD player would I?

I absolutely do not understand hi-tech stuff.
