Can somebady ‘slaine this to me?

I understand the two format battle but what exactly is going to be affected?

I 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?

By the nature of your question I can say this will not affect you.

Seriously though, this is only in regardes to those with HD TVs and wanting a high def video player. Blu Ray is the champ.

And as another noted, great news for a future PS3 owner.

Its only for high definition DVD’s. The only impact will be in the future for starage since Blu-Ray can store much more data!

Correct. Blu-ray is the way.

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.
