About Blu-ray About Blu-ray

Blu-ray optical discs use the latest technology to produce High Definition (HD) images with five times more resolution than standard definition DVD.

Blu-ray discs can only be played on a Blu-ray player with an HD digital television set. Cathode ray tube (CRT) televisions cannot be used for Blu-ray playback.

DVDs can also be played on all Blu-ray players, which "upscale" the images to produce much improved picture quality.

For overseas customers, Blu-ray is an international format. Our Blu-rays are Region Free and will play on any Blu-ray player world-wide. No more the problem between NTSC and PAL formats!
