HD vs. Blue Ray

Blue Ray for its HD releases.  So what does that mean for the OOtP 
DVDs in the future?  IIRC, I read some reviews that showed the "pop-
ups" of the actors during the movies - something I was greatly 
looking forward to, since Dan said he worked hard on his part of this 
and it showed how serious he was about acting - were only included on 
the HD version, not the Blue Ray version.  Or did I misread that?  
Are the two HD versions  the same?  I don't have a HD player yet 
(hubby won't buy one until the  dispute is settled and the prices go 
down), but I would REALLY like to  see the pop-ups Dan talked 
about!!  Argh.  Anyone know anything about  this???  Thanks!

Tiffany:

Most regular DVDs won't be affected because my BluRay player plays 
regular DVDs without fail time after time.  It's a whole different 
case for HD-DVDs in a BluRay player because the formats aren't 
compatible at all.  I think that BluRay will win out because I've 
seen more BluRay than HD-DVD DVDs out in the market, but if you want 
a player that can play both BluRay & HD-DVD, expect to shell out a 
hefty sum.
